verb like

verb like

Present Simple (verb to like)

USE (Think in ENGLISH!)

We use the verb to like in the present simple to talk about PREFERENCES or to express interest about something or someone.



Subject + verb to like + NOUN

When we talk about nouns (what is a noun?) after the verb to like we talk about things in general therefore we use THE PLURAL FORM for countable nouns.



EXAMPLES:



- I like mangoes. ( NOT: i like a mango)

- Do you like dogs or cats?

- What kind of movies does your friend like?



NOTE:

With nouns that are UNCOUNTABLE (nouns you cannot form in plural e.g. RICE, WATER, MUSIC) we DO NOT put it in a plural form obviously.



Examples:



- Maria likes beer. (NOT: Maria likes beers because beer in an uncountable noun in English)

- What kind of music do you like?

- I like Italian food.
