Why can a liquid expand to take the shape of its container but not expand to fill the container?

It doesn't expand to take the shape of its container, but it flows because the particles can slide past each other, and the bonds are loose, and not completely broken, whereas in gases, the bonds between particles have been broken down, and so they can move apart and fill the container.
