OVERVIEW OF GUSTARPART I
The verb gustar actually means “to be pleasing”
In English, the equivalent is “to like”
For example:
In English we say: I like SpanishIn Spanish we say: Me gusta el español
(Which actually translates to: Spanish is pleasing to me)
GUSTAR IS NOT A NORMAL VERB
• In Spanish we use the verb “gustar” to talk about things that we like or what we like to do.
• However, “gustar” is a strange verb, it’s kind of an irregular, but not really.
• There are a handful of verbs like gustar (encantar, doler, importar, sorprender,
parecer, faltar, quedar, sobrar…)But we are not going to worry about these others this year
ONLY GUSTAR
WHAT’S SO STRANGE…
• The most commonly used forms of the verb gustar in the present tense are
gusta and gustan
• HOWEVER, You must use an IOP (Indirect Object
Pronoun) before gustar(me, te, le, nos, les)
The IOP specifies to whom it is pleasing,
** never use a Personal Pronoun (yo, tú, el, ella,
usted, nosotros, ellos, ellas, ustedes) instead of the IOP.
WHAT IS AN IOP?(INDERECT OBJECT PRONOUN)
Tells Who is doing the liking(To whom it is pleasing)
…what do they mean?
me
te
le
nos
les
to me
to you (fam.)
to him, her, you (formal)
to us
to them or to you all (ustedes pl.)
WORD ORDER IS BACKWARDS
Me gusta la pizzaPizza is pleasing to me
• The indirect object comes first: Me
• Then the verb: gusta
• Finally the subject of the verb: la pizza.
