Hi teachers,
I have found one sentence that is bothering me.
Is is correct to say : 'I would like living there if I could ?'
According to Cambridge dictionary the above sentence is incorrect. 'We use would or ’d with hate, like, love, prefer, we use the to-infinitive, not the -ing form.' (English Grammar Today)
I am getting confused now. The sentence with gerund comes from my English grammar book.
I'd like to learn the correct English but every grammar book that I read has different rules.
Thanks in advance.
