meaning - What is the difference between "do you like" and "would you like"?


Do you like candy?
Would you like some candy?



Do you like walking?
Would you like to go for a walk?


What is the difference? And are they the same or not? Do they any use in different situations?



Answer



Asking someone do you like is asking whether they like it, and asking them would you like is offering it to them.


Here's how one would answer:



A: Do you like candy?


B: Yes, I like candy.




And:



A: Would you like some candy? (Do you want some candy right now?)


B: No thanks. (Not now.)
