I I'm going to share the lesson now and then I'm going to begin, eh?

So, as I said today, we're going to talk about likes and dislikes patterns you can use to express your likes and your dislikes.

We're going to cover some basic grammar to begin As the lesson continues, please feel free to send your example Sentences in the chat.

I will try to check live, but sometimes there's a lot.

So was he Okay, Let's begin.

I'm going to slow down my, uh, speed of speech now s.

So let's get into it.

Let's begin, then.

Over here, I'm going to begin by talking about expressions for your likes.

So when I say likes, I means I mean I mean how to talk about the things that you like.

How do you express what you like So you can use a very simple pattern like this for an action.

This is something you can use for an action.

I like to verb or I like verb ing.

This is a really common question that I get from you from viewers.

They say, What's the difference between I like to verb and I like vour being here?

There's no difference.

So for some verbs we have to choose between the two verb form and the verb i n g form.

This is called the gerund form.

Sometimes we have to choose between these, however, with the verb like either is fine.

So the difference here It depends on the verb that's used with the verb like or with the verb love you can use either.

I like to verb.

I like vour bing, for example.

I like to cook or I like watching movies.

Either is fine here, so you can use this pattern with like or you can replace it with love.

I love, too, to emphasize it, to give it a stronger meaning.

I love to do something you can use either of these two express an activity that you like to do.

Some examples air coming in.

Uh, Michelle says I, like play video games.

Don't forget this too.

If you want to use this pattern, do not forget this part.

This is the infinitive form of the verb you need to use two.

Plus your vert.

Uh, someone says I like to listen to you.

Good.

I like to play cricket.

Good.

Okay.

Other examples.

Lukman on Facebook says I like learning English with you.

Perfect.

Nice use of this one.

Good examples.

So much has Joseph says.

I like to cry.

I like crying.

Okay.

I'm not gonna judge great.

Um, Others.

Ah, Nina.

Sorry.

Lena says I love to play basketball.

Louise says I like to play chess.

Manager says I like to sing songs.

Good.

Good, good.

Nice examples.

So this is the basic way to express an activity that you enjoy.

Something you like to do.

Then let's talk about this pattern I'm introducing this I'm into I'm into.

This is common in American English.

I think it's used in British English as well.

I'm into plus noun phrase I'm into plus noun phrase.

So in this pattern, we're using verbs.

Yeah, these air verb related expressions are these air patterns that focus on a verb here.

We're using a noun or a noun phrase.

So, for example, I'm into photography or I'm into music.

I'm into rock music whatever.

Here we use a noun phrase.

So sometimes, like I hear people mix these two, for example, I hear learners say, like I'm into, uh, to take a picture.

Or like, I'm into a picture, something like that.

So we need to use, like, the kind of category, like the name of the hobby.

Like the name like the topic title.

In this pattern, I'm into photography.

I'm into music.

And so on I'm into means I am interested in non phrase I'm interested in.

So this is a casual way to express your interest in something I'm into laugh, uh, examples lots of people are using.

I like the I like, uh, I'm into someone says I'm, uh, read your comments because it's useful for grammar purposes.

I'm into love.

We do not use love in this case.

We use this if you want to talk about your feelings for someone you say I'm in love with, someone I'm in love with.

Two is incorrect.

I'm into a person.

You can say that.

You can say I'm into him or I'm into her.

That is correct.

Grammatically, But if you want to use the expression in love, you need to say I'm in love with someone I'm in love with.

Some.

Uh, Okay.

A couple points here.

One person a keel on YouTube.

Hello.

Says I'm into study.

Study is a verb.

Study is the verb the base form of the verb study.

I'm into studying, studying, so make this a noun.

So reminder you can make a verb into a noun by putting this I n g at the end is called a geren.

Yeah, I'm into studying.

I'm into studying.

Really?

That's so we use this expression as with, like, our hobbies.

Yeah.

So something that you like to do, usually in your free time, usually in your free time.

So that's why I chose these examples like photography music.

Actually, I think we have, like, a cheat sheet.

That's all about your leisure activities.

I'll show that to you later, But keep in mind, we use this expression when we're talking about things that we like to do in our free time.

Not just things that we do like a lot like at work or school or whatever.

I'll show this to you.

Okay, let's go to AA couple of more advanced patterns then.

So These are basic patterns we can use throughout today's lesson and basic patterns that are easy to remember.

But I want to talk about some other expressions.

Thio help you be more specific.

Uh, so let's take a look at these.

It's hard to see.

I know this is situation situations.

So when you want to talk about a specific situation, I want to give you a couple patterns you can use to do that.

So these air going to use ah, like embedded statement so embedded statement is like a statement inside a sentence.

So it's kind of like you're saying two things at the same time.

So let's look at some examples.

The first pattern I want to share is this one.

I like how or I like the way something something, something.

So some examples of this, uh, I like the way you did your hair.

I like the way you did your hair.

So this is another way to say, like, I like your hair style today.

I like the way you did your hair.
