He likes to swim and listen to music

[Uncanny]

Is this ok to say:

- What does he like to do?
- He likes to swim and listen to music.

Is this ok OK/okay to say?

A: What does he like to do?
B: He likes to swim and listen to music.

Note my changes above. Note that "ok" is always wrong. It's either "OK" (regardless of where it comes in the sentence), "Okay" (only at the start of a sentence) or "okay" (anywhere else in a sentence. Don't forget to end a question with a question mark.

It's fine. I'm sure someone will suggest that it means he likes doing both things at the same time. However, I encourage people to use logic and common sense. If that were the meaning, B would say "He likes to swim while listening to music" or "He likes to listen to music while swimming".

What's the difference then between

1. He likes to swim and listen to music.
2. He likes to swim and to listen to music.

The first one means he likes to swim, and he likes to listen to music.

What does the second one mean?

What's the difference then between the following?

1. He likes to swim and listen to music.
2. He likes to swim and to listen to music.

As I said before, always end a question with a question mark.
There is no difference in meaning between the two. The second simply has a second, optional, word.
