like to do or doing Are there any differences between these two sentences? 1) I like dancing, but I don't like to dance now. 2) I like dancing, but I don't like dancing now. Thank you. Maki

We can use 'like + to infinitive' or 'like + -ing', both have very similar meanings. However, in the second part of each sentence, we need to use the verb "want" because we are talking about a specific desire in that moment ("now"). We use the structure 'want + to infinitive': I like dancing, but I don't want to (dance) now I like to dance, but I don't want to (dance) now If we omit the second dance (in brackets) it sounds much more natural: I like dancing, but I don't want to now I like to dance, but I don't want to now
