WEEK #10
PENGGUNAAN LIKE AND DISLIKE
• Pernyataan sebuah ekspresi atau ungkapan yang digunakan untuk menyatakan suka atau senang
terhadap sesuatu atau seseorang
• Dislike merupakan ekspresi atau ungkapan yang digunakan ketika kita tidak menyukai sesuatu atau
seseorang
PENGGUNAAN LIKE
• Secara umum dapat digunakan untuk menyatakan kesukaan atau kesenangan terhadap sesuatu
• Rumus/pola:
Subject +like/likes +noun/verb –ing
Subject + to be + crazy about + noun/Verb-ing
Subject + love (s) + noun/Verb-ing
USE THE VERB "TO LIKE", WHEN YOU TALK
ABOUT THINGS THAT YOU ENJOY DOING:
• I like playing tennis.

• You like going out to clubs.
• He likes riding his bike.
• We like going to the cinema.
• They like watching TV.
As you see in the sentences above, you always use the form of the verb like + the ing-form of the following
verb. The verb like always requires the ing-form when you talk about things you enjoy!
INSTEAD OF THE VERB LIKE, YOU CAN ALSO USE THE
FOLLOWING VERBS:
• to enjoy
• to love
• to prefer
Note: They all require the ing-form:
• He likes running.
• He enjoys running.
• He loves running.
• He prefers running.
Of course you can also use the verb like with the infinitive of the following verb: He likes to run. But in
British English, this means that he thinks it is good to run in order to keep in shape. It doesn't mean that he
generally enjoys running.
IF YOU LOVE SOMETHING
• “I love eating ice-cream.”
• “I adore sun-bathing.”
• “She’s mad about that new boy band.”
• “He’s crazy about that girl.”
IF YOU LIKE SOMETHING A LOT
• “She’s fond of chocolate.”
• “I like swimming very much.”
• “He really likes that new golf course.”
(Remember to stress “really” in this sentence.)
IF YOU LIKE SOMETHING
• “He quite likes going to the cinema.”

• “I like cooking.”
IF YOU NEITHER LIKE NOR DISLIKE
SOMETHING
• “I don’t mind doing the housework.”

• In reply to a question if you like something or not, you can say:
“I don’t really care either way.”
“It’s all the same to me.”
EXPRESSION OF DISLIKE
Pola/Rumus :
• S + dislike / dislike(s) + noun / verb –ing
• S + don’t like / doesn’t like + noun / verb –ing
• S + hate / hate(s) + noun / verb –ing
• S + to be + fed up with + noun / verb –ing
• S + can’t stand with + noun / verb –ing
EXAMPLE
• Secara umum dapat digunakan untuk menyatakan kesukaan atau kesenangan terhadap sesuatu
• I dislike books (Saya tidak suka buku)

• I don’t like chocolate (Saya tidak suka coklat)
• I hate cockroach (Saya benci kecoa)
• He doesn’t like the heat (Dia tidak suka panas)
Note: Subjek orang ketiga tunggal (He / She / It) menggunakan does atau doesn’t
OTHER WAYS TO EXPRESS
• I dislike…. (Saya tidak suka.…)
• I don’t like…. (Saya tidak suka….)
• I hate… (Saya benci….)
• I detest…. (Saya benci….)
• I loathe…. (Saya tidak suka….)
• I am not keen on (Saya tidak tertarik….)
• I am fed up with (Saya muak dengan….)
• I can’t stand with (Saya tidak tahan dengan….)
• I don’t like any rudeness (Saya tidak suka dengan ketidaksopanan)

• I’m not keen with hostility (Saya tidak tertarik dengan permusuhan)
Instead of the verb dislike, you can also use the following verbs:to hate:
• They hate playing boardgames.
• can't stand: She can't stand listening to country music.
• can't bear: He can't bear being alone.
Of course, you can also negate the verb to like instead of using a different verb:
• They don't like playing boardgames.
• She doesn't like listening to country music.
• He doesn't like being alone.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE SOMETHING
• “She doesn’t like cooking very much.”

• “He’s not very fond of doing the gardening.”
• “He’s not a great fan of football.”
• “Horse-riding isn’t really his thing.”
• “I dislike wasting time.”
IF YOU REALLY DISLIKE SOMETHING
• “I don’t like sport at all.”

• “He can’t stand his boss.”
• “She can’t bear cooking in a dirty kitchen.”
• “I hate crowded supermarkets.”
• “He detests being late.”
• “She loathes celery.”
THINGS TO REMEMBER
• Dislike is quite formal.

• Fond of is normally used to talk about food or people.
• The ‘oa’ in loathe rhymes with the ‘oa’ in boat.
GRAMMAR NOTE & COMMON MISTAKE
• To talk about your general likes or dislikes, follow this pattern:

• like something or like doing something.
• Remember that “I’d like…” is for specific present or future wishes.
“I like swimming” = I like swimming generally.
“I’d like to go swimming this afternoon” = I want to go swimming at a specific time in the future.
• Be careful where you put very much or a lot. These words should go after the thing that you like.
• For example, “I like reading very much.” NOT “I like very much reading.”
