Like + ing

We can use like, don't likelovehate and don't mind + ing to say how we feel about an activity.

I like going to the park.
She loves playing games.
They hate cleaning.

How to use it

Love means it's great. Like means it's good. Don't mind means it's OK. Don't like means it's bad. Hate means it's really bad!

After love, like, don't mind, don't like and hate we usually use the verb with ing.
