I was wondering how I would say sentences such as

  1. [Person A] **likes it when** [Person B] [performs an action].
  2. [Person A] **likes it when** [noun] is [adjective].
  3. [Person A] **likes it when** [an action is being performed].

My guess for sentences of this form would be something like

>   1. Hanako likes it when Yuki makes new friends.  
>  花子さんは雪さんが新しい友達を作るのが好きです。
>
>   2. Hanako likes it when the roads are quiet.  
>  花子さんは静かな道の時が好きです。
>
>   3. Hanako likes it when her room is being cleaned.  
>  花子さんは誰か部屋を掃除しているのが好きです。
>
>

Update: Edited to be about general structure rather than direct translation,
and to indicate my prior research, and to include my own guesses of sample
sentences.

How to say 'likes it when' in Japanese
I feel like _いい感じがする_ suits these kinds of sentences because it's not so much
'like' as it is 'have a good feeling'.

  1. 花子さんは、自分の部屋が掃除されている時は **いい感じがする** 。

  2. 花子さんは道が静かな時 **いい感じがする** 。(A bit unsure about this one)

  3. 花子さんは雪さんが新しい友達を作るたびに **いい感じがする** 。(In this case, it's not so much 'when' as it is 'whenever')

How about using [嬉]{うれ}しい, such as in:

> Hanako likes it when Yuki makes new friends.  
>  花子さんは、雪さんに新しい友達ができるのが嬉しい。  
>  花子さんは、雪さんに新しい友達ができると嬉しい。
>
> Hanako likes it when the roads are quiet.  
>  花子さんは、道が静かなのが嬉しい。  
>  花子さんは、道が静かだと嬉しい。
>
> Hanako likes it when her room is being cleaned.  
>  花子さんは、部屋を掃除してもらうのが嬉しい。  
>  花子さんは、部屋を掃除してもらうと嬉しい。
