Presentation

like/love + -ing form


After the verbs like/love, use a noun or a noun phrase:
We love music. (music = a noun) We like the same music. (the same music = a noun phrase).
When we use another verb after like/love, use the -ing form. The -ing form is a noun:
I love listening to music. He doesn’t like listening to music.
Spelling rules
• With most verbs, add -ing with no spelling changes: play → playing, listen → listening, go → going
• With verbs ending in consonant -e, take off the -e and add -ing: make → making, dance → dancing
• With verbs ending in vowel + consonant, double the consonant and add -ing: swim → swimming, jog → jogging
