To talk about someone’s tastes and preferences in French, we use the verbs aimer (to like), détester (to dislike) and préférer (to prefer). Each is followed by a verb in the infinitive or a noun with its article, for example “Il aime regarder la télévision” and “Elle déteste le football”.

ask what another person likes in French;
say what they and other people like, dislike and prefer, using aimer, détester and préférer;
