@jamesavery98 i think you could also say something like Te guste o no, to mean Whether you like it or not. Te guste o no,vienes conmigo, te guste o no,vas a acostarte temprano, te guste o no,tienes que hacer la tarea, te guste o no,vas a pagarme lo que me debes. Well, just adding some extra information you may find useful (im not an expert just an everyday spanish speaker lol)
