*Mrziti, lajkati, voljeti i preferirati* Možemo koristiti *hate, like, love i preferirati* s oblikom -ing ili s infinitivom na-to. U američkom engleskom, oblici s to-infinitivom mnogo su češći od oblika -ing. Postoji vrlo mala razlika u značenju između ta dva oblika. *Oblik -ing* naglašava *radnju ili doživljaj.* *To-infinitiv* daje veći naglasak *rezultatima* radnje ili događaja. Često koristimo oblik -ing kako bismo sugerirali užitak (ili nedostatak istog), a oblik to-infinitiv za izražavanje navika ili preferencija. Oblik -ing je češći od oblika to-infinitiva nakon *mržnje i ljubavi.* Kada koristimo "would"s *mržnjom, sviđa mi se, volim ili radije* , koristimo oblik *na-infinitiv* , a ne oblik -ing.*
