The document discusses the use of the verb "gustar" in Spanish. It explains that unlike in English, where you say "I like", in Spanish you say "Me gusta" or "Me gustan". This is because "gustar" means something is pleasing to you rather than directly meaning "like". It also discusses using "gusta" for singular nouns and "gustan" for plural nouns, and how to conjugate "gustar" for different subjects.

1. GUSTAR

2. GUSTAR
 Gustar is the verb we use to say like in Spanish.
 However, the translation isn’t quite the same
 In English you would say I like
but in Spanish you would NOT say yo gusto
(INCORRECT)

3. Se dice en Español
 In Spanish you would say Me gusta or Me gustan
 Me gusta el mercado (I like the market)
 Me gustan las verduras (I like vegetables)
 This is because instead of directly meaning like, it
actually means that something is pleasing for
you.

4. ¿Cuándo usas Gusta o Gustan?
 Knowing whether to use gusta or gustan depends
on the words that come after it (the things that you
like).
 When we talk about liking things, then we use
GUSTA if that thing is in the singular form.
 A mí me gusta el postre. = I like dessert.
 A ellos les gusta la ensalada = They like salad.

5. ¿Cuándo usas Gusta o Gustan?
 We use GUSTAN if we like something that is in the
plural form.
 A mí me gustan los libros =
 A nosotros nos gustan los huevos =
 A ellos les gustan las judías verdes =
I like books
We like eggs
They like green beans

6. A mí, a ti, a él, etc.
 We use prepositional phrases to give more
emphasis about the person who is liking the thing.
 Por ejemplo, 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.
 To clarify, we add the prespositional phrase A + mí
(or ti, etc) before the me gusta

7. A mí, a ti, a él, etc.
 Look at the difference:
 A él le gusta comer =
 A ella le gusta comer=
 A usted le gusta comer=
He likes to eat
She likes to eat
You like to eat

8. Frases en la negativa
 To make a sentence negative, add NO between the
prepositional phrase A + mí, ti, etc. and me, te, le
etc.
 Affirmative: A mí me gustan los gatos= I like cats
 Negative: A mí no me gustan los gatos= I don’t like cats
