Grammar

Let's see how we make sentences with “would like”. Watch short videos and repeat the example sentences after me.

"Would like” is a polite way to say that we want something. “Would like” is the same for all persons. In positive sentences, we say: I would like, you would like, he would like, she would like, it would like, we would like, you would like, they would like. For example: "I would like to check in." or "She would like to check in."

I would like to check in

She would like to check in

_ _____ ____ __ _____ __

___ _____ ____ __ _____ __

Ich möchte einchecken

Sie möchte einchecken

In negative sentences, we add "not" to "would", so we say "would not". This is the same for all persons. For example: "I would not like to stay in a double room.", "She would not like to stay in a double room."

I would not like to stay in a double room

She would not like to stay in a double room

They would not like to stay in a single room

_ _____ ___ ____ __ ____ __ _ ______ ____

___ _____ ___ ____ __ ____ __ _ ______ ____

____ _____ ___ ____ __ ____ __ _ ______ ____

Ich möchte nicht in einem Doppelzimmer übernachten

Sie möchte nicht in einem Doppelzimmer übernachten

Sie möchten nicht in einem Einzelzimmer übernachten

"Would like" can also have short forms. The short form of “I would” is "I’d". For example: "I would like to check in" or "I’d like to check in". The short form of "would not" is "wouldn't". So we can say: "I would not like to stay in a single room" or "I wouldn’t like to stay in a single room".

I'd like to check in

She'd like to check in

I wouldn't like to stay in a double room

She wouldn't like to stay in a double room
