Mr. Fluffy: So, if i understood well, the adverbs can be memorised as soon as you get used to the contexts in which they are used, by exercising and practising a lot!
Take your chance and try to guess what these sentences mean !
Mrs. Purrplexed wants to play!
Mr. Puddle: Gern geschehen!
Mr. Puddle: Both sentences are correct, but you should capitalize “Tanzen” because it’s a verb turned into a neuter noun “to dance - dancing” “Ich mag Tanzen”, also in the second sentence put “gern” after the verb: “Ich tanze gern”
Mr. Fluffy: Oh… I forgot the rules, thank you!
Mr. Fluffy: So many adverbs...If I wanna say “I like dancing”, is it correct “I mag tanzen” or “Ich gern tanze”?

You are at a music festival and you’re called by your mother:
“- Hei darling, how is it?
- Mom! This is really the best concert ever! I love this band! Unfortunately, my best friend didn’t come because he’s sick.
- I’m so sorry...
- Hopefully, he’s getting well soon and maybe he’s getting to see his favorite band.... They sing so well!
- I’m happy to hear! I only hope you are happy and you’re enjoying your time there!
- I am! Mom, I’m hanging up, my favorite singer is on the stage… bye!
- Bye dear!”
This is a very basic and simple distinction:
use “mögen” for things (nouns)
Ich mag Musik I like music
use “gern” for actions (verbs)
Ich mache gern Musik I like to make music
