    So the word 'like' is able to go before both nouns? What other cases does this happen in German sentences?

      This is only possible since the syntax here is a question-structure. Liest du gerne? - Do you like to read? Spielst du gerne Schach? - Do you like to play chess? In a question which is formed like that, you put the verb in the very beginning.

          Ich habe drei Fragen.

          1. Is 'Die Schuhe mag das Mädchen?' can be correct?

          2. Why is it 'die Schuhe' not 'den Schuhe' ?

          3. Are there any pattern in constructing a question?
