French grammar is usually pretty complex but when you talk about what you like doing in French, it is quite easy. Let’s see together the grammar rule!
The rule to talk about what you like doing in French
In French, to say “I like biking” you will conjugate the verb “aimer” (to like) plus the verb at the infinitive.
Let’s see with an example:
J’aime faire du vélo: Conjugate the verb “aimer” + infinitive
It works with any verbs:
J’adore faire du vélo
Je déteste regarder la télé
J’aime jouer au football
To know more about when to use “jouer” and “faire” take a look at the article “Difference between “jouer” and “faire” in French“.
The most difficult aspect in this grammar rule, is to know how to conjugate verbs finishing by “ER” in French. Let’s see that together, you will see it is a piece of cake!
How to conjugate verbs finishing by “ER” in French?
All the verbs finishing by “er” in French except the verb “aller” will have the same ending when conjugating them. You remove “er” at the end of the infinitive verb and you add the below endings in blue.
Let’s see that with the present simple tense.
J'aime Tu aimes Il/elle/on aime
Nous aimons Vous aimez Ils/elles aiment
