  1. ANTE TODO • You know that the expressions me gusta(n) and te gusta(n) express the English concepts of I like and you like. • You will now learn more about the verb gustar and other similar verbs. Observe the examples on the next slide.

  2. ENGLISH EQUIVALENT I like that shampoo. Me gusta ese champú.LITERAL MEANING That shampoo is pleasing to me. ENGLISH EQUIVALENT Did you like the classes? ¿Te gustaron las clases? LITERAL MEANING Were the classes pleasing to you?

  3. As the examples show, the construction me gusta(n) does not have a direct equivalent in English. The literal meaning of this construction is to be pleasing to (someone), and it requires the use of an indirect object pronoun. INDIRECT OBJECT DIRECT PRONOUN SUBJECT SUBJECT OBJECT Me gusta ese champú. I like that shampoo. • In the diagram above, observe how in the Spanish sentence the object being liked (ese champú) is really the subject of the sentence. The person who likes the object, in turn, is an indirect object because it answers the question: To whom is the shampoo pleasing?

  4. The forms most commonly used with gustar and similar verbs are the third person (singular and plural). When the object or person being liked is singular, the singular form gustar is used. When two or more objects or persons are being liked, the plural form gustan is used.

  5. The construction a + [pronoun] (a mí, a ti, a usted, a él, etc.) is used to clarify or to emphasize who is pleased. A ella le gustan las toallas verdes, pero a él no le gustan. She likes green towels, but he doesn’t like them. A ti te gusta cenar en casa, pero a mí no me gusta. You like to eat dinner at home, but I don’t like to.

  6. To express what someone likes or does not like to do, gustar is followed by an infinitive. When followed by one or more infinities, gustar and verbs like gustar are used in the singular form. No nos gusta comer a las nueve. We don’t like to eat at nine o’clock. Les gusta cantar y bailar en las fiestas. They like to sing and dance at parties.

  7. ¡ATENCIÓN! • Mí (me) has an accent mark to distinguish it from the possessive adjective mi (my).

  8. The construction a + [noun] can also be used before the indirect object pronoun to clarify or to emphasize who is pleased. A los turistas les gustó mucho Machu Picchu. The tourists liked Machu Picchu a lot. A Juanita le gustaron mucho los mercados al aire libre. Juanita liked the open-air markets a lot.

  9. Other verbs like gustar

  10. ¡ATENCIÓN! • Faltar expresses what is lacking or missing. Me falta una página. I’m missing one page. • Quedar expresses how much of something is left. Nos quedan tres pesos.
