¿Te gusta?
To ask if someone likes something we say,
“¿Te gusta?” Literally, it means “ Does this
please you?”
 To ask if someone likes a particular food you
would add the name of the food to the end of
the sentence above.
 The next slides give some examples.

¿Te gusta la pera?
 To answer the
question you can
say, “Sí, me gusta la
pera.” or “No, no
me gusta la pera.”

¿Te gusta el taco?
 “Sí, me gusta el
taco.” or “No, no
me gusta el taco.”

If you are talking about more than one food (a
plural amount, like cookies or apples) then the
question you use is a little different.
 You ask ¿Te gustan? This is because the real
subject of the sentence is the thing that pleases
you, not you—it’s very different from how we
think of this in English.
 The next slide gives an example of how to use
this.

¿Te gustan los
palomitas?
 “Sí, me gustan las
palomitas.” or “No,
no me gustan las
palomitas.”

What now?
Use this presentation to practice as often as
you need to in order to feel more comfortable
with these new words.
 Also, practice using the expressions “me gusta”
and “no me gusta” with this vocabulary.
 If you have any questions about anything on
this or anything from class or my webpage,
please let me know. I’m happy to help clear up
any confusion.
