I.
USING GUSTAR TO TALK ABOUT THINGS YOU LIKE p. 300
GOAL: Learn how to use gustar with nouns. Then practice using this verb to express what
you like and don’t like.
ENGLISH GRAMMAR CONNECTION: In English, the phrase I like doesn’t change. In Spanish,
there are two ways to say it, depending on whether what you like is singular or plural.
This is because the Spanish phrase me gusta literally means that something is pleasing to
me.
APPLICATION: To talk about the things people like, use gustar + __________________.
Fill in the chart below with the correct forms of gustar.
me gusta…
If what is liked is singular,
use the singular form gusta.
If what is liked is plural,
use the plural form gustan.
SINGULAR
me gusta el taco
nos gusta el taco
me gustan los tacos
PLURAL
nos gustan los tacos
te gusta el taco
os gusta el taco
te gustan los tacos
os gustan los tacos
le gusta el taco
les gusta el taco
le gustan los tacos
les gustan los tacos
¡PARA y PIENSA! Did you get it? ¿Qué nos gusta? Complete each sentence with gusta
or gustan.
1.
Me _________________ la comida.
4. Les _________________ las uvas
2.
Les _________________ los huevos.
5. Le _________________ el café.
3.
Te _________________ el café.
6. Te _________________ el pan.

ENGLISH GRAMMAR CONNECTION: A double negative is the use of two negative words to
express a negative idea. Double negatives are considered incorrect in English. In Spanish
they are sometimes required.
There’s nobody at the door.
No hay nadie en la puerta.
APPLICATION: Use an affirmative or a negative word when you want to talk about an
indefinite or negative situation.
Fill in the English translation for each affirmative and negative word.
