Things to remember


    To talk about your general likes or dislikes,
    follow this pattern: like something or like
    doing something.



    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."
