Here’s how you put it together:
1) Ask yourself. Who am I talking about? Who is something pleasing to? For example, I want to say “My
friend and I like running.” In Spanish, we’d actually say “Running is pleasing to my friend and me.”
Another way of saying “My friend and I” is “us.”
2) Find the appropriate box for that person. I see the “us” box is at the top and on the right. I’m going to
use “Nos gusta __________.”
3) Plug in your verb! “Correr” means “to run.” So my whole sentence is “Nos gusta correr” – “To run is
pleasing to us.”
* Me gusta correr.
* Te gusta patinar.
* Nos gusta mirar television
Running pleases/is pleasing to me.
Skating pleases/ is pleasing to you.
Watching television is pleasing to us.
