Like +to+verb or like +gerund?
 
Hi friends! I�d like to ask you about a simpler and clearer explanation of the difference between like +to + verb and like + gerund. Thanks a bunch.

Like + to + verb (infinitive) can express habits, intentions or future actions. Like + gerund (V-ing) usually expresses general preferences or actions you like to do in general, not necessarily related to the future. Please refer to the answer on a Merge Fruit. Thanks you!
