To ask if something likes us, we place don´t or do not and doesn´t or does not before the
subject

Do + I/you/we/they + like

Does + he/she/it + like

To answer, we use the short answers: yes, I do/ no, I don´t

EXPRESSING LIKES AND PREFERENCES

Two verbs that express likes more intensely than like are LOVE (encantar) and HATE (odiar,
desagradar)

To Love

It could be translated as “encantar, querer y amar”

To Hate

It has not a negative connotation as “odiar” in Spanish, it is more similar than “no me gusta
nada, me desagrada”

HOBBIES

When we talk about hobbies or sports the use of the gerund is common: verb ending in –ing

I like to run

I like running

When we talk about a hobby or activity in general, gerund is used, though both sentences are
correct.

Running Hacer footing/correr
Swimming Hacer natación / nadar
Cooking Cocinar
Playing football/tennis/basketball Jugar al fútbol/tenis/baloncesto
Shopping Ir de compras
Dancing Bailar
Listening to music Escuchar música
Reading Leer
Going to the cinema/theatre Ir al cine/teatro
Going out with friends Salir con amigos

CONECTORS: AND, BECAUSE, BUT, SO, SUCH, BOTH

Connectors are words we use to join two or more sentences.
