verb like

[happys82]

can we use indefinite article after the verb "like" for countable nouns?

Do you have a particular sentence in mind?

1. I would like a brochure.
2. I like (watching) a good movie now and then.

...because you are talking about a preference for a particular thing. The way to express that is 'I would/should* like an ice cream'.

PS *Sometimes, but rarely, you could even use 'might' here, in a context such as this: 'Usually, after work, I like something savoury - crisps, or maybe a pizza. Some days though I might like an ice cream.'

The pattern is like + something in general:

General: I like ice-cream (in general).
Specific: I like a particular kind of ice-cream.
