Learn English – To talk about a hobby, should I say “I like swimming” or “I like go swimming”

gerundsinfinitive-vs-gerundword-usage

Cambridge gives this example

I don't like upsetting people

with this formula [ + -ing verb ], based on which, I could say "I like swimming", although I've also seen "I like go swimming". It seems that both forms could be used to talk about a hobby, when should I use which one?

Best Answer

"I like go swimming" doesn't work. It IS okay to say, "I like to go swimming," and it means pretty much the same thing as, "I like swimming."
