Common errors in English: Usage of Like and Love

Like and Love


Incorrect : Everybody loves honest people. 


Correct : Everybody likes honest people.


Incorrect : I like all my children alike. 


Correct : I love all my children alike.


Note: The difference between 'like' and 'love' is not in kind but in degree. "Love' is a stronger word than "like". It often suggests desire for something or strong friendship for somebody. For example:


I'd love a cup of coffee. 

I love my mother very much.


But "like' is a general term which suggests fondness for a person or thing. It can be used in the sense of "enjoy'. For example: 


I like watching television (= enjoy) 

He likes birds. (= he is fond of birds)
