Verbs Like Gustar
 Gustar= to like
 Encantar= to love (as in “to really, really like”)
 Interesar= to be interested in
*There are many more. They will be referred to as
gustar verbs in the future.
FormulaPart 1
 You start out with an indirect object pronoun to talk
about who is doing the liking, loving or who is
interested.
me= I
te= you
le= he/she/it/usted
nos= we
les= they/you all
FormulaPart 2
 You will then use the third person singular form
(he/she/Usted) of the verb to talk about 1 thing or an
activity/activities being liked, loved, interesting etc…
Ex. Me gusta la pizza.
*Since the pizza is being liked and it is singular, you use gusta.
Nos interesa pescar en el río Fox.
*Since pescar is an activity that interests us, you use interesa.
 You use the third person plural form (they/ustedes)
to talk about multiple things being liked.
Ex. A Pablo le gustan los perros calientes.
Nos encantan las películas de terror.
Since perros calientes and películas are
being liked/loved and they are plural, you use
gustan/encantan.

Side notes…
 To say that you don’t like, love or are not
interested in something, you put a NO in front.
ex. No me gusta la tarea. No me encantan los Cubs.
 If there are more than one activities, you still use
the singular construction.
ex. Me encanta pescar, leer y pasar el rato con
amigos.
Side notes…

these before the indirect object pronoun:
A mí me…
A ti te…
A él/ella/Ud./name le…
A nosotros /A____ y a mí nos…
A ellos/Uds./two names les…
