LIKES AND DISLIKES

 Dados los errores cometidos en el control del tema 1, os dejamos aquí esta entrada con aspectos que os pueden ayudar a repasar. 

LIKES AND DISLIKES

To talk about what we like or we don't likewe use the verbs love, enjoy, like and hate. After these verbs we can use a noun

          She loves chocolate

          They don't like football

          Does he hate the beach?

But we can also use a verb. When we use a verb it usually takes the form of the gerund, that is, we add -ing to the verb.

          He loves going to the cinema

          She doesn't like dancing

          Do they enjoy playing chess?

Remember that there are some rules to add -ing:

* most of the times we just add -ing directly to the verb
          
          go ---> going                 work ---> working
          study ---> studying        play--->playing

* but when the verb ends in a silent final e preceded by a consonant, we drop the -e and add -ing

         live ---> living                write ---> writing

* when the verb ends in a consonant and it is a strong one syllable verb then we double the final consonant. Also when the verb has two or more syllables but the stress is on the last syllable.

        stop ---> stopping         begin ---> beginning
