Gustar ¿Te gusta mi coche? Sí, me gusta mucho.

Verbo Gustar Use gustar to talk about what a person likes, or literally, what is “pleasing” to them. Gustar uses mainly AR conjugations It also HAS to be used with an indirect object pronoun

Verbo Gustar To say what I (yo) like, follow the following formula: To say you like 1 thing: A mi me gusta….. (Singular) To say you like more than one thing (does not include actions): A mi me gustan…. (plural)

Verbo Gustar Por ejemplo: A mí me gusta hacer la tarea A mí me gusta nadar A mí me gustan los lápices A mí me gustan las mochilas y las plumas

Verbo Gustar Note: if what is liked is not a thing but an activity (expressed by a verb in the infinitive form), gustar is used in the 3rd person singular form- gusta. Wrong: Me gustan bailar y cantar Correct: Me gusta bailar y cantar

Verbo Gustar To say what “you” (tú)like to follow the following formula… To say you like 1 thing: A tí te gusta …. To say you like more than one thing (does not include actions): A tí te gustan….

Verbo Gustar Por ejemplo A tí te gusta ver la tele A tí te gusta jugar los video juegos y cantar A tí te gustan los libros

Gustar is a completely regular -ar verb in its conjugation. Gustar = to be pleasing Gustar is used to express preferences, likes, and dislikes; however, gustar means “to be pleasing,” and is constructed very differently from the English “to like.” Gustar is a completely regular -ar verb in its conjugation. gusto gustas gusta gustamos gustáis gustan

The verb gustar is used exclusively with indirect object pronouns me nos te os le les

(for clarification or emphasis) Again, the verbs gustar, encantar, etc. are used exclusively with indirect object pronouns These are mandatory me te le nos os les (a mí) (a ti) (a usted) (a él) (a ella) (a nosotros) (a vosotros) (a ustedes) (a ellos) (a ellas) The prepositional forms are optional (for clarification or emphasis)

I like Spanish. Spanish is pleasing to me. Me gusta me gusta. el español. El español It turns out, then, that the sentence in Spanish is exactly the reverse of that in English, in its sense, and also in its word order.

I like it. It’s pleasing to me. Gustar = to be pleasing In Spanish, the thing or things that we like are expressed as being “pleasing to us.” . . . where “it” is the direct object. In English, we say . . . I like it. In Spanish, “it” becomes the subject of the sentence and we say instead . . . It’s pleasing to me. “I” is then expressed as the indirect object phrase “to me.”

Let’s start by talking about something we all like. I like Spanish. Following the format on the previous slide, we would say . . . Spanish is pleasing to me. In Spanish, this would literally be . . . me gusta. El español gusta me. But, of course, in Spanish, pronouns must be placed before conjugated verbs. Now, it so happens that, by convention, the subject (in this case El español) is generally placed at the end of the sentence with this type of construction.

Since most of the things or people that please us are expressed in third person, the two forms of gustar that are used most commonly are gusta and gustan gusto gustas gusta gustamos gustáis gustan Nos gusta el flan que hace la abuela. We like the flan that grandma makes. No le gustan los huevos. She doesn’t like eggs.

Me gustas (tú). You please me. (I like you.) Of course, it is possible to use other forms. Gustas, for example is used frequently. Me gustas (tú). You please me. (I like you.) When gustar is used with one or more infinitives, only the third person singular is used. Me gusta leer. Me gusta leer, jugar fútbol, y viajar.

Gustar is used with indirect object pronouns Me gusta ese restaurante. I like that restaurant. ¿Te gusta el té helado? Do you like iced tea? Le gustan mucho las zanahorias. He likes carrots a lot. No nos gusta el yogur. We don’t like yogurt. Les gusta cenar en casa. They like to eat dinner at home.
