Students learn how to use would like + noun and would like + infinitive to talk about what they want and what they would like to do. They also practice common invitation and suggestion phrases such as Would you like to…?, Do you want to…?, Let’s…, How about…?, and Why don’t we…?
It’s a fantastic lesson for beginners who want to sound more natural in everyday conversations while developing confidence in making plans, giving invitations, and expressing preferences.
