Is it correct to say...
J'aime (e accent aigu)couter la musique morderne mais je n'aime pas (e accent aigu)couter le jazz.
Meaning I like to listen to modern music but I don't like to listen to jazz?
is it grammtically correct?
And is there such thing as j'aime beaucoup? as in J'aime beaucoup le sport?
Yes, that's right. You can say it that way. And if you wanna say 'I really like' you say 'J'aime beaucoup' (le sport).
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Looking at what you posted first, check the spelling of moderne (morderne) Then it will be perfect.
Yes, J'aime beaucoup.....is correct but you must finish with the thing(s) you like! Otherwise it is not a complete sentence. When you get to object pronouns, then you can say "it" = I like it a lot = Je l'aime beaucoup.

Yes, the sentence you provided is grammatically correct. It effectively conveys the meaning that you like to listen to modern music but you do not like to listen to jazz.
Just to explain the grammar a bit, the word "écoutER" (with an acute accent on the letter "e") means "to listen." In the sentence, you correctly used the verb "écouter" conjugated in the first person singular form, "j'aime écouter" meaning "I like to listen."
The word "la" is the definite article meaning "the," and it is used before the noun "musique" (music). This is necessary because in French, definite articles are placed before a noun to indicate specificity.
The adjective "moderne" (modern) is used to describe the noun "musique" (music), and it agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. Since "musique" is a feminine singular noun, "moderne" remains unchanged in this case.
The word "mais" means "but" in English, and it is used to introduce the contrast or opposite information in the sentence.
The word "je n'aime pas" (I don't like) is a negation of the verb "aimer" (to like). The "ne" and "pas" together form the negative construction of the sentence. Again, you correctly used the verb "écouter" after "pas" to indicate that you do not like to listen.
Finally, you mentioned "le jazz" to represent "jazz." Like "la musique," the definite article "le" is used before the noun "jazz" to indicate specificity.
Overall, you formed a grammatically correct sentence to express your preference for modern music and your dislike of jazz.
