Which of these sentences is right? If there are more than one, could you tell me if there are any differences in meaning? - "I like that she is my teacher" - "I like her being my teacher" - "I like her to be my teacher" Thanks a lot! |

Hi Albaeva. �I like her being my teacher � - fine. I �like her to be my teacher � - no. �I would like her to be my teacher � is correct. �I like that she is my teacher �, no. It might be OK grammatically for all I know  , but it wouldn �t be said. �I like the fact that she is my teacher � is correct. |

"I like that she is my teacher": This is correct for spoken English but could be better rephrased in written English. - "I like her being my teacher": This is also correct - "I like her to be my teacher": I would like her to be my teacher or I want her to be my teacher. I hope this helps. |
