pg. 100: Gustar with infinitives
An infinitive is the orginal form of the verb (before conjugation). It
tells the meaning of the verb without naming any subjects. There are
three kinds of verbs: -ar
-er
-ir
Infinitives, like nouns, can be used after a verb like gustar to say what
you and others like to do.
EX: Me gusta la música.:
I like music. (Music is a noun.)
Me gusta cantar.:
I like to sing. (To sing is an infinitive
verb.)
ALWAYS use GUSTA (not gustaN) with infinitives!
EX: Me gusta jugar al tenis.: I like to play tennis.

Pg. 102: Pronouns after prepositions
Pronouns can have different forms, but stand for the same noun.
EX: Yo, me
After prepositions such as a (to), de (of, from, about), con (with) and en (in, on, at), pronouns
have different forms.
Subject pronouns

The pronouns mí and ti combine with con to make conmigo, contigo.
