 Re: don't like to
Hi susan,
The verb 'like' in the following sentences all mean 'enjoyment'.
1. Richard doesn't like to exercise because it's tiring for him, but he has to do it in order to keep in shape.
Does the sentence above make sense when you have to do something you don't enjoy? Can we also use 'doesn't like exercising' to mean the same thing here?
2. Richard doesn't like to run so he walks instead to keep in shape. Running is too tiring for him.
Does the sentence above make sense when you don't have to do something you don't enjoy and you can choose to do it or not? Can we also use 'doesn't like running' to mean the same thing here?
Thank you very much for your reply.
