they are just those

I read a book the title is The Manual. It has been put a distinction between like + infinitive and like + -ing (gerund). When it is used with -ing, it means something that one ENJOY (e.g. "I like swimming." means I enjoy swimming.). While with infinitive, it means something one DESIRES or WANTS (e.g. "I like to swim today."). It can also mean to REQUIRE specially if it is followed by an objective noun/pronoun (for example, "The principal likes the student to come to the former's office because of the latter's bad behavior." which like is followed by the object pronoun 'him').

''Would' can be conjugated to 'like' + infinitive (e.g. "I would like to swim."), which means a desire or want…or require if followed by object (e.g. "The principal would like the student to come to the former's office because of the latter's bad behavior."). When 'would like' can only be used with infinitive but not with -ing.

Other verbs such as 'love,' 'prefer,' or 'hate' can also be conjugated with infinitive just like 'like' (e.g. "I love to see the movie 'Train To Busan." and so are the other two.) 'Would' can also be used with 'love,' 'prefer,' or 'hate.' (e.g. "I would love to see the movie 'Train To Busan."). 'Would' can be employed only with infinitive, same as 'like' usage above.

Profesora, saludos, ehmmm en mi libro dice :
You can use FOR to express a purpose before a noun phrase or gerund phrase.
I use my smart phone for e-mailing clients.

¡Hola Ana Patricia!
Buena pregunta… en 'mis tiempos' no existía el internet! Imagínate! Así que aprendí de forma tradicional… practicando muchísimo con mis libros, oyendo canciones, viendo películas…
Creo que no son los recursos que uno tiene, sino que la dedicación y el esfuerzo que se invierte en el estudio. Así que mi única sugerencia sería practicar muchísimo y dedicarle el tiempo necesario.
Espero te sirva y te mando un fuerte abrazo.
Saludos, Lucie

Hi! Yes, you can… in this case you have two options:
Option 1 – simple past: He quit smoking last year.
Option 2 – present perfect: He's quit smoking. (without 'last year')
I hope this helps! Hugs, Lucie
