Explanation: Tanto o verbo like quanto a expressão good at são acompanhados de preposição. Como já sabemos o verbo like significa gostar de , mas a preposição de ( of ) não aparece na escrita do verbo, apenas na compreensão. De acordo com a estrutura do idioma americano , sempre que surgir uma preposição antes dos verbos devemos acrescentar ing ao verbo para representar o infinitivo.
