I like - I don’t like

In inglese per esprimere i propri gu-

sti si usa il vero like. A differenza

dell’italiano, il verbo non si accorda

con l’oggetto che ci piace, ma con il

soggetto:

I like music

Mi piace la musica I like animals

Mi piacciono gli animali

Per dire che qualcosa non ci piace si

usa l’ausiliare “DO”:

I don’t like stupid people

Non mi piace la gente stupida

Anche per domandare se a qualcuno

piace qualcosa si usa l’ausiliare”DO”:

Do you like animals?

Ti piacciono gli animali?

Per parlare in terza persona (lui/lei) si aggiunge una -s alla forma

infinita del verbo:

Like (piacere) Make (fare) Eat (mangiare) Wash (lavare) Go (andare)

I like I make I eat I wash I go

you like you make you eat you wash you go

he likes he makes he eats he washes he goes

she likes she makes she eats she washes she goes

it likes it makes it eats it washes it goes

we like we make we eat we wash we go

they like they make they eat they wash they go

He/she/it and the verbs Quando si aggiunge la “s” della terza persona valgono le stesse regole di quando si aggiunge la “s” del plurale: 1. se il verbo finisce con:

-s; -sh; -ch; -x; -o allora si aggiunge “-es”;

2. se il verbo finisce con -y preceduta da una consonante, allora si to-glie la “Y” e si aggiunge “-ies”

Conjugate the verbs:

Drink (bere) Play (giocare/suonare)

Try (provare) Watch (guardare) Do (fare -in senso

generale)

I __________ I __________ I __________ I __________ I __________

you ________ you ________ you ________ you ________ you ________
