    Express preferences

    Hello students!
    There are many ways to talk about preferences in English.
    You can use common phrases and expressions to express your preferences.
    Let’s start!

    How to express preferences?

     LIKE: I like chatting on WhatsApp.


     HATE: I hate WhatsApp.
     ENJOY: I enjoy playing video games on Twitch.
     LOVE: I love YouTube.
     DON’T LIKE: I don’t like uploading photos on Instagram.
     PREFER: I prefer Tik Tok.

    Now you know that we can express our preferences using the verbs: love, like, hate,
    enjoy, prefer or don’t like.

    Look at the chart for first and second person: I, you, we, they.
    We can use the verbs like, hate, enjoy, love, don’t like and prefer with a noun or with the –
    ing form of a verb.

    For example:
     Verb plus noun: I like WhatsApp.
     Verb plus –ING: People like chatting on WhatsApp.

    Now, look at the chart for third person: he, she, it.
    Remember: We add “s” to the verb of preference and the auxiliary doesn’t for the
    negative form.
    For example:
     Verb plus noun: He likes Instagram.
     Verb plus -ING: She likes looking at photos on Instagram.

    And some examples for the negative form:


     He doesn’t like Instagram.
     She doesn’t like looking at photos on Instagram.

    QUESTIONS
    Look at the chart:
    In questions, we put the auxiliary verb "do" before the following subjects: they, we, you
    and I. These are yes/no questions.
    Remember: Yes or no questions are questions whose expected answer is either "yes" or
    "no".
    For example:
     Do they like chatting on WhatsApp?
     There are two possible answers: Yes, they do or No, they don’t.

    Kinds of short answers:


    According to the subject used in each question you can say:
     Yes, I do. Yes, you do. Yes, we do. Yes, they do. If the answer is affirmative.
     No, I don’t. No, you don’t. No, we don’t. No, they don’t. If the answer is
    negative.

    Look at the chart for third person: he, she, it.


    In questions, we put the auxiliary verb "does" before the following subjects: he, she, it.
    For example:
     Does he like working online?
     There are two possible answers: Yes, he does. Or no, he doesn’t

    Kinds of short answers:


    According to the subject used in each question you can say:

     Yes, she does. Yes, he does. Yes, it does. If the answer is affirmative
     No, she doesn’t. No, he doesn’t. No, it doesn’t. If the answer is negative.
