Touring London

My name is Jamie Olsen and I'm a tour guide.  It's a wonderful job.  I meet new people every day and I can show them a beautiful city - London!  I like taking tourists to Buckingham Palace.  The Royal Family live in this amazing palace.  It's got very large, beautiful gardens and the Queen sometimes has parties in the gardens. 

Another famous place to show tourists is the Tower of London.  They enjoy looking at the crown jewels. I also take tourists to Westminster Abbey - a very old and important church and the Houses of Parliament. 

Of course there are many museums to visit in London, too.  You can learn about history or science at some

museums, for example the British Museum, the National Gallery, the Natural History Museum and the Science

Museum. 

There are many things to do in the city.  That's why I love being a London tour guide.

Uses of the verbs "Like" "enjoy" "hate" "dislike" and "love".

When you use the verb like, you MUST say what you like, even if you have to use ‘it’ or ‘this.’

I like. is NOT a complete sentence!

 

 

The correct pattern is:

subject + like + what you like

 

Think of Facebook:

 facebook

When you ‘like’ something on Facebook, it doesn’t say “You like”  It says “You like this.

 

Example sentences:

Do you like Brad’s new haircut?
~ Yes! I like it!

My mom liked her Mother’s Day present.

I don’t like the way you treat people.

Does he like his new teacher?

~ No, he doesn’t like her!

On the weekends she likes to go shopping with her friends.

I don’t like interrupting her when she’s studying.

 

AFTER like:

 

subject + like + what you like + very much/a lot/so much

 

*You can NOT put very much, a lot, or so much between like and the object.

INCORRECT:

X: I like so much playing football

X: I very like playing football

Example sentences:

He likes her very much.

My husband likes our new house a lot!

‘Like’ 'enjoy' 'hate' 'dislike' 'love' can be followed by a gerund.

She enjoys/likes/hates/loves swimming.
