Thank u very much, podcast really so helpful ♥️♥️
And I have one more question why we add verb in the question with ing (do u like watching films ) and not just watch without ing, is that because she asked us in present continuous??

[@mohammedtanash2638]

Because in English any verb involve ing in the infinitive it we'll be the same in the question and nigative without any change. I wish helped you . If I have any mistakes please tell me.

[@richgirlana]

I have the same question 😢hope they give us answer
