![]() A ella le gusta comer (= she likes to eat).A él le gusta comer (= he likes to eat).So to clarify we had the prepositional phrase A + él (or ella, usted). This is sometimes used to give more emphasis about the person who is liking the thing but also to clarify when they may be a doubt about who that person is.įor example if we say Le gusta comer, we don't know if the person who likes to eat is a man, a woman or even you. You will notice that many times we have the prepositional phrase A + mí (or tí etc.) before the me gusta (o te gusta etc.). A ellos les gustan las canciones (= They like the songs).A nosotros nos gustan las películas de terror (= We like horror movies).A mí me gustan los libros (= I like books).We use GUSTAN if we like something that is in plural form A ellos les gusta la canción (= They like the song).A nosotros nos gusta la película (= We like the movie).A mí me gusta el fútbol (= I like football/soccer).A ellos les gusta ir al cine (= They like to go to the movies/cinema)īUT when we talk about liking things, then we use GUSTA if that thing is in singular form.A nosotros nos gusta cocinar (= We like to cook). ![]() ![]() A mí me gusta bailar (= I like to dance).If you want to say that you like doing something, then you use Gusta + Infinitive (verb) Knowing whether to use Gusta or Gustan depends on the words that come after it (the things that you like). Why is this? Because instead of directly meaning like, it actually means that something is pleasing for you. In Spanish you would say ME GUSTA or ME GUSTAN. In English you would say I LIKE but in Spanish you would NOT say yo gusto (incorrect). But unfortunately the conjugation rules (the way you change the verb) are a little different from normal verbs. Gustar is a verb that confuses many English speakers at the beginning.
