In English, "i like" is usually followed by a noun, pronoun, gerund (i.e., the present participle form of the verb), or infinitive (to + verb form). It depends on the specific meaning you want to convey.
If you like a specific thing or person, you can follow the noun or pronoun directly after "I like". For example:
i like apples.(I love apples.) ）
i like him.(I like him.) ）
If you want to express that you like to do something, you should follow the gerund after "i like". For example:
i like swimming.(I love swimming.) ）
i like reading books.(I love to read.) ）
Sometimes, you may also have an infinitive followed by "i like", but this is often used to indicate a specific, one-time action or to indicate a preference for future actions. For example:
i like to go for a walk after dinner.(I like to take a walk after dinner.) ）
i like to try new restaurants.(I love trying new restaurants.) ）
Note that the verb form followed by "i like" is usually an expression of habit or preference, rather than a specific, one-time action. If you want to express a specific, one-time action, you might use other tenses or constructions, such as "i want to" or "i am going to".
To sum up, the form of "i like" followed by depends on what you want to say:
Noun Pronoun: Expresses your preference for a specific thing.
Geund: to express that you like to do something (usually a habit or regular activity).
Infinitive: Used for a specific, one-time action or to indicate a preference for future behavior.
