Gustar
To like, to pleaseSlide2
In English
We use the
verb “ to like”
to talk about the activities, foods or other things we like.
I like ice cream
We like to run
Joe likes cookies
They like to readSlide3
In Spanish
We use the verb
gustar
which does not really mean to like
.
Gustar
means to please
We talk about what pleases us.
Me
gusta
el
helado
Ice cream
is pleasing to
meSlide4
A little bit of helpful grammar
In the sentence I like ice cream.
I
is the subject, like is the verb and
ice cream
is the object.
In the sentence Ice cream pleases me. Ice
cream
is the subject, pleases is the verb and
me
is the objectSlide5
What determines the form of the verb?
The form of the verb is determined by the
subject
.
So when we say
Me
gusta
el
helado
, the form of the verb
gustar
is determined by el
helado
not by me.
Remember :
Ice cream
pleases
meSlide6
In Spanish
El
helado
is the subject
Gustar
is the verb
Me is the object (to whom the ice cream is pleasing)Slide7
