*Hader, kan lide, elsker og foretrækker* Vi kan bruge *hate, like, love og prefer* med en -ing form eller med en to-infinitiv. På amerikansk engelsk er formerne med to-infinitiv meget mere almindelige end -ing-formen. Der er en meget lille forskel i betydningen mellem de to former. Formen på *-ing* understreger *handlingen eller oplevelsen.* *To-infinitiven* lægger mere vægt på *resultaterne* af handlingen eller begivenheden. Vi bruger ofte -ing-formen til at antyde nydelse (eller mangel på samme), og to-infinitiv-formen til at udtrykke vaner eller præferencer. Formen -ing er mere almindelig end formen to-infinitiv efter *hate og love.* Når vi bruger "would" sammen med *hate, like, love eller prefer*, bruger vi *to-infinitiv*, ikke -ing-formen.
