I have never seen" like " with present perfect why ?
Is it possible to say I have liked that book or should I say I liked that book for me these have different meaning first one I still like it and second it is the past it doesnot give any info we don't know if I like it
You would use present perfect like if you are saying you regularly or more than once liked something that happened in the past, and plan to do it again.
A: So I hear you like sherbet.
B: That's true.
A: Did you ever have the orange sherbet at Johnny's Icecream Shop?
B: I used to. All the time. I've liked that a lot. It's been awhile but I think I'm going to go tomorrow.
Non-perfect like will work too. But have liked won't work if there isn't or can't be a plan to do it again, such as below.
A: So I hear you like sherbet.
B: That's true.
A: Did you ever have the orange sherbet at Johnny's Icecream Shop? It's a shame the place burned down and no longer exists.
B: I used to. All the time. I liked that a lot. What a pity.
It is uncommon to see the verb like used in the present perfect because it is not usually necessary, or its meaning could be ambiguous. If you currently like something then the simple present is used, and if you used to like something (but don't anymore) then the simple past can be used.
That doesn't mean that you can't use it with the present perfect (or any other perfect for that matter). For example, you can use it if you want to say how long you have liked something for (I have liked football for as long as I can remember), or in the subjunctive mood to say that you would have liked to have done something, had you been given the opportunity (I would have liked to have met Gandhi).
