"Would you like to go shopping tomorrow?"

In our lesson today we saw a question with "would you like".

This is how we use this expression:

Affirmative: I would like to go shopping tomorrow.

Interrogative: Would you like to go shopping tomorrow? (Remember our friend, "A S I C", for when we ask a question.)

Negative: I wouldn't like to go shopping tomorrow.

Often we use the contracted form: I'd like to ....

This is the form of the short answer to a question:

Paul: Would you like to go the cinema tomorrow evening?
Susan: Yes, I'd like to.

Sometimes we want to say that we really like an idea or suggestion.
We can say: "I'd love to".

Paul: Would you like to go to the cinema tomorrow evening?
Susan: Oh yes, I'd love to go. I really want to see the new film.

Do we ALWAYS use the infinitive with "would like to"? In full sentences, yes, we do. In short answers, we can omit the verb after "to", but we must keep "to". For example: I'd like to.

If you have any questions about "I would like to", we can talk about them next week.
