Likes and Dislikes

To say we like something in Spanish, we use the verb GUSTAR.

The structure of the sentence is different than in English, it is backwards, we could translate it literally as “something is pleasant to me”. Ejemplo: Me gusta el tenis (Tenis is pleasant to me), Me gustan los gatos (Cats are pleasant to me).

For the negative sentence, just write “no” at the beginning of the sentence. Ejemplo: No me gustan las zanahorias (I don’t like carrots).

Use GUSTA when:

•the thing you like is an action: Me gusta montar a caballo (I like riding horses)
•the thing you like is singular: Me gusta mucho el café (I like coffee very much)

Use GUSTAN when:

•the thing you like is plural: Me gustan los gatos.
