Gustar and Similar Verbs
(Gustar y verbos parecidos)
¿Te gusta
mi coche?
Sí, me gusta
mucho.
Gustar = to be pleasing
gusto
gustas
gusta
gustamos
gustáis
gustan
Gustar is a completely regular -ar verb
in its conjugation.
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.”
I like it.In English, we say . . .
In Spanish, “it” becomes the subject of the sentence and we
say instead . . .
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.
“I” is then expressed as the indirect object phrase “to me.”
I like Spanish.
Spanish is pleasing to me.
El español gusta me.
But, of course, in Spanish, pronouns must be placed before
conjugated verbs.
me gusta.
In Spanish, this would literally be . . .
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.
Let’s start by talking about something we all like.
Following the format on the previous slide, we would say . . .
me gusta.El españolel español.
I like Spanish.
Spanish is pleasing to me.
Me gusta
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.
To express that others like Spanish, only the
object pronoun needs to change, since Spanish
remains the subject in all the sentences.
gusta el español.Me
like Spanish.I
TeLeNosOsLes
YouHeWeYou allThey likes Spanish.
gusto
gustas
gusta
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
gustamos
gustáis
gustan
Nos gusta el flan que hace la abuela.
No le gustan los huevos.
We like the flan that grandma makes.
She doesn’t like eggs.
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.
The verb gustar is used exclusively
with indirect object pronouns
me
te
le
nos
os
les
Me gusta ese restaurante.
Gustar is used with indirect object pronouns
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.
aburrir to bore; to tire
encantar to delight; to be extremely
pleasing
faltar to be lacking or needed
fascinar to be fascinating
interesar to be interesting
molestar to be a bother or to annoy
parecer to seem
quedar to be left; to remain
Many other verbs function like gustar
These, too, are used with indirect object pronouns.
Me aburre comer solo.
Eating alone bores me.
French cuisine fascinates us.
Les encanta comer fuera.
They love to eat out.
Nos fascina la cocina francesa.
Do you all need some napkins?
¿Les faltan servilletas?
Many other verbs function like gustar
¿Te queda suficiente dinero para
pagar la cuenta?
This wine seems expensive to us.
Nos parece caro este vino.
Do you have enough money left to
pay the bill?
We’re interested in penguins.
Nos interesan los pingüinos.
Some customers annoy me.
Me molestan algunos clientes.
Many other verbs function like gustar
When we like something a lot (mucho) or
more (más) than something else, mucho and
más immediately follow the verb gustar:
Me gusta mucho comer.
I really like to eat.
A different word order would convey a
different meaning:
Me gusta comer mucho.
I like to eat a lot of food.
When we like something a lot (mucho) or
more (más) than something else, mucho and
más immediately follow the verb gustar:
¿Te gustan más las naranjas o las toronjas?
Do you like oranges or grapefruit best?
Me gustan más las naranjas.
I like oranges best.
Again, the verbs gustar, encantar, etc. are used
exclusively with indirect object pronouns
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)
These are mandatory
(for clarification or emphasis)
The prepositional
forms are optional
All the prepositional forms can be used
to emphasize the object pronoun form.
no le gustan los frijoles, pero
sí me gustan.
doesn’t like beans but
A Juan a mí
Juan I do.
Notice that because Juan and I were stressed in the
above sentence in English, we added the
prepositional forms a Juan and a mí in Spanish to
reflect that stress.
Les encantan las bananas.
Since les can represent a number of different people, we may
need to add a prepositional form to avoid confusion.
Since the third-person pronouns le and les can be
ambiguous, they sometimes require prepositional
forms for clarification.
A ellos les encantan las bananas.
A ellas les encantan las bananas.
A Uds. les encantan las bananas.
A Luis y a Marta les encantan las
bananas.

Gustar and Similar Verbs

  • 1. Gustar and Similar Verbs (Gustar y verbos parecidos) ¿Te gusta mi coche? Sí, me gusta mucho.
  • 2. Gustar = to be pleasing gusto gustas gusta gustamos gustáis gustan Gustar is a completely regular -ar verb in its conjugation. 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.”
  • 3. I like it.In English, we say . . . In Spanish, “it” becomes the subject of the sentence and we say instead . . . 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. “I” is then expressed as the indirect object phrase “to me.”
  • 4. I like Spanish. Spanish is pleasing to me. El español gusta me. But, of course, in Spanish, pronouns must be placed before conjugated verbs. me gusta. In Spanish, this would literally be . . . 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.

A Uds. les encantan las bananas. A Luis y a Marta les encantan las bananas.
