Question

I do not like _________ .

• A. swim
• B. swimming
• C. swims
• D. swimmed

Answer 1

Answer:

B. swimming

• like + gerund. "like" is followed by a gerund form when talking about activities or actions in a general sense. "Swimming" is the gerund form.
• "Swim" is the base form.
• "Swims" is the third person singular form of the verb.
• "Swimmed" is not a standard English verb form. The past tense of "swim" is "swam."
