Sir!

"I'm liking studying English." Is this not considered as present continuous?

If I follow the formula given by my teacher, in my opinion there's nothing wrong with this sentence.

S+be+Ving (Since LIKE is a verb, so there's nothing wrong to put ING.)

Could you pls explain for my references?

Thank you!

The Mcdonald's slogan notwithstanding, there are a number of verbs that do not normally appear in continuous aspect, and among them is 'like'. Others are:

believe
dislike
doubt
imagine
know
love
hate
prefer
realize
recognize
remember
suppose
understand
want
wish

appear
hear
se

Oh! I didn't know that.

Don't my sentences make sense if I say....

I'm loving my parents/ I have been loving my parents.

I'm wishing for the moon to come down.

They are remembering the past.

She is denying the fact.

"Pls. check the volume, I'm hearing strange sounds."

Pls. don't get me wrong sir. These are just for my references. Than

Did you see my word 'normally'. Some of your sentences are uttered sometimes, but they are not the usual usage. When used, they generally refer to the very instant.
