In all sentences that describe someone being good or bad at something, as well as liking/disliking doing something, the particle が is used. I know for a fact that you use が for like/dislike.

In some sentences, the particles のが are there. i.e: "I don't really like doing the laundry"

私はせんたくをするのが好きじゃないです。

Why is there a のが instead of just が？

    This の is something called a nominalizer. Does this answer your question?

のがis used with a verb when the focus is shifted to the verb despite the sentence having a subject defined by は. It was similar to usage to のは, but with different focus. Like in the example the subject is watasi, but the focus is on sentaku suru.
