The correct one is:

"Don't go inside. She doesn't like you to go in her room."

You can only have one active verb in a sentence (or clause). Here that verb is like, as the primary verb with the auxiliary do. Whatever follows is the object of her dislike.

She doesn't like < something >.

Then, go is a secondary verb and can be in the infinitive form to go or the gerund form going.

So the construction can be either:

She doesn't like you to go in her room. (Infinitive)

or

She doesn't like you going in her room. (Gerund)

It cannot be

She doesn't like you go in her room."

because go is not the active verb here.

This is just the wrong word choice, in my opinion. When you use the verb like like that, a common word to use is when:

She doesn't like it when random people enter her room.

In your case, I would suggest that you switch to the verb want instead:

Don't go inside. She doesn't want you to enter her room.

But on the technical side of things, you do need to use a to in front of the second verb:

I would like you to be my friend.

    In the first case, the more simple correction would be "She doesn't like you going in her room." Thinking about it, some verbs require a present-continuous tense (she hates you going, she sees you going) and others infinitive (she wants you to go, she allows you to go) and I'm racking my brain trying to figure out the underlying reason for this and I think it's a simple irregularity of the verbs. I'm researching it, but if anyone else wants to chime in...

  • You know, language can sometimes be such a delicate thing that so much just depends on context. If there's not enough of it, different people will think slightly different things.

  • I don't understand. What are you saying that in respects to?

  • I'm talking about the correction that you offered. My examples just happened to be different from that of yours. That's all.
