Likes and Dislikes
To talk about your likes and dislikes, you can use these expressions.
Expressing likes:
- I like…
- I love…
- I adore…
- I’m crazy about…
- I’m mad about…
- I enjoy…
- I’m keen on…
Expressing dislikes:
- I don’t like…
- I dislike…
- I hate…
- I abhor…
- I can’t bear…
- I can’t stand…
- I detest…
- I loathe…
Example 1
Examples of likes and dislikes:
- I’mmad aboutbasketball, but Ican’t bearice hockey.
- Iadorereading poetry, but Iloathedoing the housework.
Things to remember about likes and dislikes:
- When these expressions are followed by a verb, the latter is put in -ing form. Examples:”I like listening to music.””I hate wearing sun glasses.”
| I like | VERB+ING |
| I detest | |
| I don’t mind |
- Note that”very much”& “a lot” always come after the things you like.Examples:”I like basketballvery much/a lot. NOT “I like verymuch/a lot“
- Be careful when you use “I don’t mind…”Examples:”Do you mind playing football?””No, I don’t mind.”(Although it’s in a negative form, it means that it’s ok for me. I neither love it nor hate it.)
Dialogue:Amiri is at home. His girlfriend comes in…Notice how they express their likes and dislikes.
| Amiri: | Hello, darling. Do you fancy watching a film tonight? |
| Girlfriend: | Oh, no thanks, I don’t really feel like watching a film tonight. How about going out instead? |
| Amiri: | OK. Do you feel like going to the theatre? |
| Girlfriend: | Oh, no. I’m not in the mood for that. Do want go to the new Chinese restaurant? |
| Amiri: | I don’t mind. Chinese cuisine is alright. |
| Girlfriend: | Well I really love it. Let’s go. |
