ANG 9050-Spanish IA-Chapter 2-All about the verb "Gustar" re: likes & dislikes Flashcards
INFO ONLY:
“Gustar” is different for other “-ar” verbs. There are two ways to express likes and dislikes:
- singular noun
(no) me gusta + el/la + singular noun - the plural noun
(no) me gustan + los/las + plural noun.
Use “a mí” for emphasis.
Never use the pronoun “yo”.

A mí me gustan las artes. (plural)

To talk about you like and don’t like to do use (no) me gusta + [verb/infinitive(s)].
The singular gusta is always used, even with more than one verb/infinite.

Me gusta cantar y baliar.
