Answer 1

The simple way to say "I like..." in Chinese is "我喜欢....“.Wǒ xǐhuān

"喜欢" xǐhuān is a verb here,we can use it as below:

1、我喜欢+noun. Eg: 我喜欢牛奶。Wǒ xǐhuān niúnǎi.( I like milk). 我喜欢你。Wǒ xǐhuān nǐ.(I like you).

2、我喜欢+verb+noun Eg: 我喜欢看书。Wǒ xǐhuān Kàn shū. 看Kàn：directly translation is see/look ；书shū (book) (In Chinese,we use "see/look books" instead of "reading books"（读书dúshū）,"reading books"with literally translation meaning read the book aloud)

Also,In Chinese, verbs do not undergo conjugation. To express tense, you simply add time adverbs or phrases. Verbs also don't change according to person. Plurals for nouns are formed by simple quantifiers without altering the noun itself.

Therefore,in Chinese oral language, especially with the assistance of pinyin, learning basic conversational skills is a relatively simple method.

Answer 2

Both c and d will be grammatically acceptable. However, there are slight differences between these two answers. The extent that you like reading is greater if you choose the option d.

For example:

With option c, it will be something like "I like reading books"

With option d, it will be "I love reading books very much"

I hope this will help!
