GUSTAR y verbos similares
In Spanish, there is no exact equivalent to the English verb “__________________”. The nearest in meaning is the verb __________________, which literally translated into English is “____________________________________” . Many Spanish verbs work just like English verbs in a straightforward "subject‐verb” manner. However, gustar does not follow that pattern. It has a “__________________” verb construction. Its forms do not depend on ______________ does the liking, but instead on ______________ is liked/pleasing. Gustar is preceded by an _________________ object pronoun indicating ______________ is pleased. It is followed by a noun (the _________________) indicating the _________________ that pleases. This may seem confusing, but do not let the word order influence you! Think of it this way: it is the responsibility of other things and people to please you rather than for you to go out actively liking things! Ejemplo… IOP Me I Subject gusta la película. like the movie. (literally: The movie pleases me.) ¿Te gustan los conciertos de rock? Do you like rock concerts? (literally: Do rock concerts please you?) “to like”
IOP
GUSTAR
“to like”
IOP
“I like” “we like” “you (familiar) like” “you all (familiar) like” “you (formal) like”; “he/she likes” “you all (formal) like”; “they like” Because the thing that pleases is the _________________, gustar agrees in _________________ with it. Since the subject of the sentence must be either singular or plural, the only forms of gustar you will use are "_________________" and "_________________." This is true regardless of what IO pronoun appears in the sentence. Singular subject
Ejemplos: We (m.) like Cristian Castro’s music. Plural subject
I like quesadillas. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ They (f.) like their new house. Do you (fam.) like romantic movies? __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ For purposes of clarification, gustar sentences will often begin with a ___________________________ that clarifies just who the IO pronoun refers to: ______ + _____________/_____________ o By adding a prepositional phrase, you remove the ambiguity of the "le" form. o You can also use a prepositional phrase to add emphasis, even if there is no ambiguity. Ejemplos: A Juan le gusta el café. A mí me gusta el té. John likes coffee. I like tea. In the first example, "A Juan" clarifies the ambiguous pronoun "le." In the second example, there is no ambiguity. "Me gusta el té" can only mean "I like tea." In this case, "A mí" adds emphasis, drawing attention to the fact that tea is what I like (as contrasted with what Juan likes). Ejemplos: I like chocolate, and you (fam.)? Charles likes antique paintings. __________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________
¡Ojo! Mí (to ________) has an accent mark to distinguish it from the possessive adjective mi (________). When gustar is followed by one or more verbs in the infinitive, the _________________ form of gustar is always used. Ejemplos: You all (fam.) don’t like to arrive late. They (m.) like to sing and dance. __________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________
