Quote susan53  However, like to +inf can also be used to express the idea "I think it's a good idea". Look at the following:
I don't like going to the dentist, but I like to go about every six months because that way there's never too much to be done.
I don't like going to the dentist = I don't enjoy going to the dentist
I like to go to the dentist about every six months = I think it's a good idea to go to the dentist... (etc)

Hi susan,
It's not correct to say "I don't like going to the dentist, but I like
going about every six months because that way there's never too much to be done." here, right?
2. Do you think that the statement below is true?
"Personally I could say that I like going to the theatre, although I haven't been in years. I still have an affection for it. I couldn't say that I like to go to the theatre because that would suggest that it is one of my current pastimes."
