English A1 Grammar & Vocabulary #030
Topic: Present Simple with like / love / hate
Lesson overview:
In this lesson, we learn how to say what we enjoy and what we do not enjoy. This is a very useful A1 grammar point. We use simple present verbs for preferences:
- like = enjoy
- love = really like
- hate = not like
We also learn two common nouns: music and pizza.
Quick review from previous lessons:
- go = move or travel
- play = do a game or sport
- this / that = point to one thing
Today, we use simple present verbs to talk about feelings and preferences.

3) hate — reading: heyt — meaning: not like
