None of your options is incorrect, hussamk2000, but I personally prefer the second. The first one is somewhat ambiguous; you might mean that you like neither apples nor bananas, or that you don �t like apples with bananas. The third one would probably be used only to emphasize your dislike of these fruits. It �s longer and clumsier than the second. And carrasclet �s suggestion is fine as well. |
