GO

We use go to refer to movement, most commonly away from the speaker or listener to another place

Does this tram go to the city centre?

Can you wait here while I go back to the house to fetch my jacket?

Would like

• We use would like or ’d like to say politely what we want, especially when making offers and requests:

  Would you like a biscuit with your coffee?

  Can you order for Ellie? She’d like the Margarita pizza, please.

  
  

• Verbs that follow would like are in the to-infinitive form:

  Would you like to listen to that again?

  I’d like to get a return ticket for tomorrow.

  
  

• We use Do you like …? to ask about preferences in general. We don’t use Do you like …? to make offers or requests.

Like to or GERUND

• like + ing is used mostly to talk about enjoyment

• 1a. I like playing football = I enjoy it, it gives me many impressions and creates a relaxing atmosphere

• like+ infinitive mostly used to talk about choices and habits

• 1b. I like to pay my rent at the end of the month = You prefer it if you have an opportunity to pay your rent at the beginning of the month rather than at the end. Probably, because there are fewer people standing in line at the bank office at this time of the month.
