Likes and Dislikes in English

We can use the verbs "like", "love", "hate" and "enjoy" to explain our likes and dislikes: I love chocolate. ++ He likes classical music. + I don't like cold weather. We hate spiders. -If we use a verb, it must be in the "-ing" form:

I love listening to music. ++ I like walking in the park. + She doesn't like swimming. He hates going to school. --

Spelling: For verbs which end in a single vowel and single consonant (except W and Y), we double the consonant in the "-ing" form. run ---> running hit ---> hitting swim ---> swimming but play ----> playing draw ----> drawing For verbs which end in "e", we remove the "e" before we add "ing". write ----> writing skate ----> skating

Exercise: put the verbs in the correct form. example: He (like) (read) ----> He likes reading. 1. She ____________________________(not like) (run) 2. I _________________________________ (love) (walk) 3. We ____________________________ (hate) (do) homework 4. They____________________________ (not like) (eat) cabbage 5.
