love
The verb love is usually used to express a strong feeling of affection for a person or place.
She loved her husband deeply.
He had loved his aunt very much.

If you want to say that something gives you pleasure, or that you enjoy a person's company, you usually say like, not ‘love’.
I like reading.
We liked him very much.
In conversation and in less formal writing, people sometimes use love to emphasize that they like a thing or activity very much.
I love your dress.
I love reading his plays.
Love is usually used in simple rather than progressive forms. For example, you say ‘I love you’, not ‘I’m loving you'. However, in informal spoken English, love is sometimes used in the progressive.
I'm loving your new hairdo!
