Key Grammar Structures

• you can also use hate with a verb and action by adding to before the verb or ing to the verb stem

  ➔ Infinitive vs. Gerund after 'hate'

  ➔ After 'hate', you can use either the infinitive (to + verb) or the gerund (-ing form of the verb). For example, 'I hate **to say** goodbye' (infinitive) or 'I hate **waking** up early' (gerund).

• with dislike you can also use it with a verb but it's important to note you cannot use the infinite to with the verb you can only add ing to the verb stem

  ➔ Gerunds after 'dislike'

  ➔ Unlike 'hate', 'dislike' *only* takes a gerund (-ing form) after it. You cannot use the infinitive. For example, 'I dislike **listening** to loud music' is correct, but 'I dislike **to listen** to loud music' is incorrect.

• instead of using hate you can use disgust or disgusted by

  ➔ Adjective vs. Verb for expressing strong dislike

  ➔ You can express a very strong dislike using 'disgust' (a verb) or 'disgusted by' (an adjective phrase). The structure differs depending on which you use.
