39
00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:51.840
the verb like you can use a noun for

40
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:56.159
example I like tennis you can also use a

41
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.579
verb but remember the verb needs to take

42
00:01:59.579 --> 00:02:03.720
an ing it should be gerund I like

43
00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:07.920
playing tennis so two forms I like

44
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.038

express likes is to use the verb love

53
00:02:42.780 --> 00:02:45.360
which means to like something so much

54
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.500
again after love you can use a noun I

108
00:05:33.900 --> 00:05:36.180
when you cannot get enough of something

109
00:05:36.180 --> 00:05:38.820
it means no matter how much you do it no

110
00:05:38.820 --> 00:05:40.740
matter how often you listen to it or

00:05:40.740 --> 00:05:43.500
play it or eat it you cannot get enough

112
00:05:43.500 --> 00:05:46.500
you still want more so you can't get

113
00:05:46.500 --> 00:05:48.720
enough of it which means you really like

114
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.199

times I order this pizza I still want to

121
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.940
order it again now what if you want to

122
00:06:11.940 --> 00:06:14.400
express dislikes as an intermediate

123
00:06:14.400 --> 00:06:17.279
student what can you say instead of I

124
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.620
don't like or I hate you can use this

125
00:06:19.620 --> 00:06:23.220
phrase I can't stand which means you

126
00:06:23.220 --> 00:06:25.139
cannot tolerate it which means it's so

127
00:06:25.139 --> 00:06:27.479
so bad that you don't want to see it or

128
00:06:27.479 --> 00:06:30.180
do it or even be with it now you can use

129
00:06:30.180 --> 00:06:33.300
a noun after it I cannot stand heavy

130
00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:36.360
metal or you can use a verb but the verb

131
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:38.400
needs to be gerund I cannot stand

132
00:06:38.400 --> 00:06:41.639
listening to heavy metal music here are

133
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:43.979

00:06:49.620 --> 00:06:51.419
late for a meeting

137
00:06:51.419 --> 00:06:54.060
another way to express dislikes is to

138
00:06:54.060 --> 00:06:58.199
say I cannot bear I can't bear which

139
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:00.419
means you cannot tolerate it it's so

140
00:07:00.419 --> 00:07:02.759
annoying or it's so bad that you don't

141
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:04.680
want to tolerate it you don't want to do

142
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.500
it you don't want it at all I cannot

143
00:07:07.500 --> 00:07:09.960
bear the responsibility of having a

bear the loudness and the screaming and

161
00:07:56.819 --> 00:07:58.259

00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.760
something for example I have a great

186
00:09:05.220 --> 00:09:08.399
particular liking for old films or I

187

means I really like old films

189
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.760
the second phrase you can use with the

190
00:09:14.760 --> 00:09:17.880
word liking is take a liking to

191
00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:20.519
something or somebody take a liking to

192
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:22.860
what does it mean this is used to say

193
00:09:22.860 --> 00:09:25.440
that you have started liking somebody or

194
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:27.660
something that you have started enjoying

195
00:09:27.660 --> 00:09:29.880
it that you have just realized how good

196
00:09:29.880 --> 00:09:32.399
it is and how much you like it for

197
00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:36.120
example after meeting her at the party I

198
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.580
took a liking to her

199
00:09:38.580 --> 00:09:41.220
so instead of saying I liked her you can

200
00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:44.519
say I took a liking to her now to make

201
00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:46.140
it sound even better you can use an

202
00:09:46.140 --> 00:09:48.899
adjective for example instant or

203
00:09:48.899 --> 00:09:51.420
immediate after meeting her at the party

204
00:09:51.420 --> 00:09:55.140
I took an instant liking to her or I

205
00:09:55.140 --> 00:09:57.660
took an immediate liking to her it means

206
00:09:57.660 --> 00:10:00.600
I instantly realized that I like her or

207
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:02.880
look at this example I used to hate

208
00:10:02.880 --> 00:10:06.480
sushi but when I had my first bite I

209
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:09.720
took an instant liking to it so at first

210
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.880
I used to hate it but when I had my

211
00:10:11.880 --> 00:10:12.980
first bite

212
00:10:12.980 --> 00:10:16.440
I realized how good it was so I took an

213
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:19.140
instant liking to it the third way you

214
00:10:19.140 --> 00:10:21.000
can use the word liking is to say

215
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:25.500

to my like if something is to your

217
00:10:28.140 --> 00:10:30.600
liking it means you like it so instead

218
00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:32.458
of saying I like it you can say it is to

219
00:10:32.458 --> 00:10:33.839
my liking

220
00:10:33.839 --> 00:10:36.720
look at this example I didn't like the

221
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:38.880
party because the music they played

222
00:10:38.880 --> 00:10:42.240
wasn't to my liking I didn't like the

223
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:44.458
party because the music they played

224
00:10:44.458 --> 00:10:47.160
wasn't to my liking that means I didn't

225
00:10:47.160 --> 00:10:49.078
enjoy the party because the music was

226
00:10:49.078 --> 00:10:51.000
not my favorite music I didn't like the

227
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:54.480
music it wasn't to my liking okay we

228
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.279
learned three very cool ways of

229
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.380

230
00:10:58.380 --> 00:11:01.019

231
00:11:01.019 --> 00:11:04.200
like a pro instead of using don't like

232
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.679
or hate you can use this phrase have an

233
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:09.240
