you like vs you likes

"You like" is the proper English phrase. In English, the verb "like" does not change its form when used with the pronoun "you." It remains the base form "like" regardless of the subject pronoun.

you like

This phrase is correct. In English, the verb "like" remains in its base form when used with the pronoun "you."

Use "you like" when talking about someone's preferences or opinions. The verb "like" does not change its form based on the pronoun used.
