Would like & Would loveI would like to see a movie.I would love to see a movie.

What’s the difference?

Would like = zou graag willenWould love = zou HEEL graag willen...

Behind would like or would love, you put the word ‘to’ and the infinitive (hele werkwoord).

You can also write: ’d for would.

I’d like to see a movie.I’d love to see a movie.

How do you choose? Well, it’s more or less your own interpretation...

Present Continuous

To talk about things that are happening in the present!

Things that are going on at the moment.

You mostly say: I am doing... She is doing...

To make the present continuous you have to use a form of ‘to be’:

am/is/are + verb + -ing

• I am teaching• You are listening• He is playing

Present Continuous

You can make the forms of ‘to be’ shorter by using an apostrophe:

I’m They’reYou’re We’reHe’s / She’s / It’s You’re
