Activity II
1. I dislikes watermelons. / Me gustan los melones (The translation is correct but you didn't correct the mistake in the sentence. The mistake is that when you are talking in first person you don't have to put the -s in the verb. The correct sentence is "I like watermelons")
2. She dislikes not bananas (X). She dislikes bananas. / A ella no le gustan los cambures.
3. My friends don't likes almonds. A mis amigos no les gustan las almendras. (The translation is correct but you didn't correct the mistake in the sentence. The mistake is that the -s in the verb is only used with third person singular. The correct sentence is "My friends don't like bananas.")

5. I don't like hot dogs. / No me gustan los perros calientes.

Likes and Dislikes (Lesson)

Likes and Dislikes
Verb "to like"



Pay attention!

1. We add -s or -es in the 3rd person singular.
E.g. He likes / He doesn't like.

2. In the interrogative form we use the auxilary verb "to be"
E.g. Do you like oranges? / Does he like cakes?
3. In the negative form we use the auxilary verb "to do" and the negative "not".

The verbs "likes and dislikes" can by followed by a noun.
E.g. I like apples.

They can also be followed by a verb.
For example:

When like/dislike are followed by a verb you need to add the -ing ending to the verbs.
