Liked or like?

Hi guys,

I need your help! Which is true?

"Glad that you liked it" OR "Glad that you like it"

"I'm glad that you loved the gift" OR "I'm glad that you love the gift"

"I'm happy that you liked my work" OR "I'm happy that you like my work"

"I'm glad that you're happy with my work" OR "I'm glad that you happy with my work"

Thank you!

Hi, E2, These all work in both present and past tenses. (While you're at the concert, listening) - I'm glad you like the music. (After the concert, when you're remembering) - I'm glad you liked the music.

Hi avangi,

Thanks for the answer!

I forgot to mention my position. I'm one day or sometimes a couple of hours after my boss said that he like my work. So should I reply with "I'm happy that you liked my work" OR "I'm happy that you like my work"?

Past tense?

Thank you!

If it were some very specific piece of work he praised, I'd use past tense. If it were more general praise about the quality or your work, I'd use present.

So both are okay?

Thanks Avangi! English is so attractively weird. Emotion: smile

Yes, and yes. I admit it's a strange situation. You can talk about the time line of the work itself, or about the time line of the liking. He may have liked it yesterday, but today he's changed his mind, with or without reason.

You're really contributing a lot around here, Jones. We're glad to have you with us. This is a comment on the quality of your continuing work.
