× I usually study in the cafe because I like study.
✓ I usually study in the cafe because I like studying.
The verb 'like' is followed by a gerund (-ing form) when expressing enjoyment of an activity. Therefore, 'study' should be changed to 'studying' to be grammatically correct.
× I like study while drinking.
✓ I like studying while drinking.
Similar to the previous sentence, after 'like' the verb should be in the gerund form. 'Study' should be 'studying' to correctly express the activity enjoyed.
