<div class='writeup-body'>～のが好（す）き is a common construction that is used in Japanese to express that you like/love doing something. This particular expression is used with the plain (dictionary) form of verbs only.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>私（わたし）は映画（えいが）を見（み）るのが好（す）き。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>I like watching movies.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>私（わたし）はプレゼントを貰（もら）うのが好（す）きです。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>I like to receive gifts.</div></li> </ul>In these examples, we can see that there is no difference between Ichidan verbs and Godan verbs. Both will be used in their plain forms. In this expression, のが is performing the same function as in the regular のは or のが construction. This function is nominalization (turning a phrase into a noun). However, のは may not be used with this phrase, as が will always appear with adjectives.<div class='writeup-caution'><div class='caution-header'>Caution</div>If you want to express that you liked doing something (in the past), the verb will still remain in the plain form, but 好（す）き will change to past tense.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>彼（かれ）は野球（やきゅう）をするのが好（す）きだった。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>He liked to play baseball.</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>息子（むすこ）は漢字（かんじ）を書（か）くのが好（す）きでした。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>My son used to like to write kanji.</div></li> </ul></div>This construction can also be used to ask questions about what other people like.
