3º CYCLE

# To talk about what we like or we don't like we use the verbs love , 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
