Expressing Likes and Dislikes

Read these sentences below. This person likes lots of things:

I	Like	Verb-ing	(object)
I	like	cooking
I	like	studying
I	like	playing	football
I	like	reading	books

How do we talk about something we don’t like? How do we make these sentences negative?

We use the word ‘don’t’.

I don’t like cooking.
I don’t like studying.
I don’t like playing football.
I don’t like reading books.

Let’s take a look at those sentences again. They are negative sentences. Notice how they are structured:

I	don’t	like	verb-ing	(object)
I	don’t	like	cooking
I	don’t	like	studying
I	don’t	like	playing	football
I	don’t	like	reading	books

Here are the sentences again together.

Positive: I like cooking. Negative: I don’t like cooking.

Positive: I like studying. Negative: I don’t like studying.

Positive: I like playing football. Negative: I don’t like playing football.
