Question

a. I am liking reading books.
 b. You likes reading books.
 c. You have liked to read books.
 d. You like reading books.

Answer 1

Hint: A sentence is a string of words satisfying the grammatical rules of a language.

Complete step by step solution:
In the given question, the verb 'reading' in the given sentences is used as a noun, as a gerund, as it acts like the object of the main verb 'like'. The verb 'like' in the sentence must be in the present indefinite form since we are referring to a habitual activity.

Let us analyze the options given to us in this question:
Option (a.), 'I am liking reading books', includes two verbs ‘liking’ and ‘reading’ side by side in the same tense, which is incorrect.
Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect.

Option (b.), ‘You likes reading books', uses ‘likes’ which is a singular verb. With ‘you’, we always use a plural verb.
Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as it is grammatically incorrect.

Option (c.), ‘You have liked to read books', also uses two verbs side by side, and the second verb ‘read’ is not in the infinitive form.
Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as it is grammatically incorrect.

Option (d.), ‘You like reading books', is a grammatically correct sentence.
Therefore, option (d.) is correct.

Note: In this question, the correct option is supposed to be grammatically correct. To choose the right option, you will have to break down each sentence and see if the right form of words and tenses is followed in each sentence.
