______ ______

______ ______

Gustar uses special pronouns:

me nos_______

te os________

le les________

Gustar only has 2 forms of the actual verb:

me gusta(n) nos gusta(n)

te gusta(n) os gusta(n)

le gusta(n) les gusta(n)

Why is gustar a SUPER weird verb?

me gusta(n) nos gusta(n)

te gusta(n) os gusta(n)

le gusta(n) les gusta(n)

Because...-the pronouns depend on who is doing the liking (for example if I like something, I’d use ‘me’)-the form of gustar depends on what is being liked

gustar-to like

me gusta(n)-I like nos gusta(n)-we like

te gusta(n)-you like os gusta(n)-you all like

le gusta(n)-you like, les gusta(n)-you all he/she likes, it likes like, they like

Forming sentences with gustar

Indirect object pronoun + gusta(n) + noun (including definite article) or verb

How do you know when to use gusta or gustan?When you like a singular noun or a verb, use gusta. When you like a plural noun, use gustan.

To say that you DON’T like something, put no before the pronoun.

Example: No me gusta la pizza.

No nos gustan los videojuegos.
