or you (formal)

pleasing to me.” However, we can translate the phrase as “I like chocolate.” Translate the following
phrases:
Me gusta(n):___________________________
Te gusta(n):___________________________
Le gusta(n):___________________________
Nos gusta(n):__________________________
Os gusta(n):___________________________
Les gusta(n):___________________________

Use GUSTA before a verb or singular noun and GUSTAN before a plural noun.

To express a dislike, simply place “no” before the IOP: No me gusta el chocolate.

Práctica! For each sentence, fill in the first blank with an indirect object pronoun. Fill in the second
