31. Put the verbs in brackets into gerund or infinitive.

After like it is sometimes possible to use either gerund or infinitive, but there tends to be a slight difference in implication.

like + gerund usually means "enjoy"; it also usually implies that the action is/was performed:

I like skating = I enjoy skating (and do skate).

like + infinitive has more the meaning of "approve of", "like the idea or habit". In the affirmative it gives no indication as to whether the action is performed or not, and in the negative im­plies that it is not performed.

I didn't like saying it

usually means "I said it, unwillingly", but
