had like to
b. With be replaced by have, usually in had like to. Cf. had liked to at like v.2 3a. regional in later use.Probably arising from the ellipsis of been in had been like to (cf. had (also was, were) likely at likely adj. 3), perhaps also under the influence of the use of have as an auxiliary verb in counterfactual contexts (cf. have v. 39, 40). The subsequent development of had liked to suggests that reanalysis as a verb occurred (in some cases at least) by the end of the 16th cent., and in later, regional use like is often treated as a modal auxiliary, with had like to and had liked to parts of a single paradigm.In later use also with omission of have from the perfect infinitive so that like to is followed directly by the past participle (sometimes reinterpreted as a past tense); cf. sense A. 11c(b).
