The verb doler

The verb doler is like the verb gustar. It is a verb that works ‘back to front’ when compared with its English equivalent. Remember, it is a stem-changing o > ue verb.

Me duelen los dientes – I have a toothache.

If one thing hurts you, the verb is singular in Spanish.

Me duele la garganta – I have a sore throat.

If more than one thing hurts you, the verb is plural in Spanish.
