time what do you do in your spare time so how would you answer this question

to or just I like followed by what you like to do for example if you like

watching films you could say I like to watch films or I like watching films I

like to watch films all I like watching films and if you like golf you could say

I like to play golf or I like playing golf I like to play golf

all I like playing golf you can emphasize how much you like your hobby

by adding a word like really in front of like for example I really like watching

films on the other hand if you want to play down how much you like something

you can say kind of for example I kind of like playing tennis now it's time for
