Undtagelser
Like, love og hate kan også efterfølges af to + grundform.
- I like reading.
- I like to read before bed.
Begge former er ofte korrekte, men der kan være en lille forskel.
Verb + -ing beskriver normalt generel glæde eller utilfredshed.
- I like swimming.
To + grundform kan beskrive en vane, et valg eller noget, der anses for nyttigt.
- I like to check my email in the morning.
Med would like skal du bruge to + grundform, ikke -ing-formen.
- Korrekt: I would like to travel.
- Forkert: I would like travelling.
