Verbos que se conjugan como gustar
You already know several verbs that always use the
indirect object pronouns me, te, le, nos, os, les:
encantar
to love
importar
to matter
gustar
to like
interesar
to be interested in
These verbs all use the same construction: indirect
object pronoun + verb + subject.
Me gusta
el fútbol.
¿Te interesan
las pinturas?
Remember, in the sentences above, the verb forms gusta (singular) and
interesan (plural) agree with the subjects fútbol and pinturas. The words
me and te are indirect object pronouns.
Here are some examples of the correct use of gustar. Notice that the only forms of gustar
that appear are gusta and gustan, even though each of the IO pronouns is used.
Singular Subject
Me gusta la casa.
Plural Subject
Me gustan las casas.
Te gusta el cuarto. Te gustan los cuartos.
Le gusta la silla.
Le gustan las sillas.
Nos gusta el hotel. Nos gustan los hoteles.
Os gusta la comida. Os gustan las comidas.
Les gusta el reloj. Les gustan los relojes.
Look more closely at one example:
Le gusta la silla.
It is impossible to tell whether this means:
1. He likes the chair.
2. She likes the chair.
3. You (usted) like the chair.
For purposes of clarification, the sentence will often begin with a prepositional phrase that
clarifies just who the IO pronoun refers to.
A él le gusta la silla.
He likes the chair.
A Juan le gusta la silla.
John likes the chair.
A ella le gusta la silla.
She likes the chair.
A María le gusta la silla.
Mary likes the chair.
A usted le gusta la silla.
You (formal) like the chair.
As you can see, by adding a prepositional phrase, we remove the ambiguity of the "le" form.
You can also use a prepositional phrase to add emphasis, even if there is no ambiguity.
1. A Juan le gusta el café.
John likes coffee.
2. A mí me gusta el té.
I like tea.
