Which indirect object pronoun completes the sentence to express 'I like chocolate': '___ gusta el chocolate'?
Me
Te
Le
Nos
The pronoun 'me' indicates that the chocolate is pleasing to me. Indirect object pronouns 'te', 'le', and 'nos' refer to other persons, not 'I'.
Which indirect object pronoun is used with 'gustar' to express 'He likes'?
Me
Te
Le
Nos
The pronoun 'le' is used for third person singular 'he' or 'she'. It indicates that something is pleasing to him. 'Me', 'te', and 'nos' refer to first and second persons.
Which sentence correctly expresses 'We like apples' in Spanish?
Nos gusta las manzanas.
Nos gustan las manzanas.
Nos gustas las manzanas.
Nos gusten las manzanas.
Since 'manzanas' is plural, the verb 'gustar' must agree and become 'gustan'. The pronoun 'nos' correctly refers to 'we'.
How do you say 'They don't like broccoli' in Spanish using 'gustar'?
No les gusta el brócoli.
No les gustan el brócoli.
No les gustas el brócoli.
No les gusten el brócoli.
'Brócoli' is singular, so 'gusta' remains singular. The pronoun 'les' indicates 'to them', and the negative 'no' precedes the pronoun.
Which sentence correctly uses an indirect object pronoun to express 'You (informal singular) like books'?
Te gustan los libros.
Le gustan los libros.
Me gustan los libros.
Nos gustan los libros.
The pronoun 'te' refers to 'you' informal, and since 'libros' is plural, the verb is 'gustan'. 'Le', 'me', and 'nos' refer to other persons.
Which sentence correctly translates 'I love movies' using 'encantar'?
Me encanta las películas.
Me encantan las películas.
Me encanta las película.
Me encantan la películas.
'Películas' is plural, so 'encantan' is required. 'Me' indicates that movies are pleasing to me. The other options have number or article errors.
Identify the sentence that is incorrect in its use of 'gustar' structure.
Me gusta bailar.
Te gustan nadando.
Le gusta correr.
Nos gustan las fiestas.
The gerund 'nadando' cannot function as the subject with 'gustar'; instead one uses the infinitive 'nadar'. The other sentences correctly pair the infinitive or noun with the verb.
Which sentence adds emphasis by using 'a mí' before 'me gusta'?
Me gusta el fútbol.
A mí me gusta el fútbol.
El fútbol me gusta a mí.
Yo gusto el fútbol.
Adding 'A mí' before the pronoun emphasizes who likes football. The third option moves the phrase but is less standard, and 'yo gusto' is incorrect.
Choose the sentence that correctly uses 'interesar' following a gustar-like structure.
Me intereso en la historia.
Me interesa la historia.
Interesa me la historia.
Me interesan en la historia.
The correct structure is indirect object pronoun + verb that agrees with the subject, hence 'Me interesa la historia'. The other forms misplace the pronoun or preposition.
Which phrase correctly expresses 'They are fascinated by jazz' using 'fascinar'?
Les fascina el jazz.
Les fascinan el jazz.
Les fascinan los jazz.
Le fascina el jazz.
'Jazz' is singular, so the verb is 'fascina'. The pronoun 'les' indicates 'to them'. Using 'fascinan' or 'le' would mismatch number or person.
Which sentence uses the gustar structure incorrectly?
Nos gusta el cine.
A nosotros nos gusta el cine.
Nos gustan el cine a nosotros.
El cine nos gusta a nosotros.
'Cine' is singular, so 'gusta' should be singular and used with 'nos'. The sentence 'Nos gustan el cine a nosotros' wrongly uses 'gustan' with a singular noun.
How do you express 'You like sports, but I don't' with proper contrast and emphasis?
A ti te gustan los deportes, pero a mí no.
Te gusta los deportes, pero no a mí.
A ti te gustan los deportes, pero yo no.
Te gustan los deportes, mas me no.
The phrase 'a mí no' correctly contrasts the speaker's preference, and 'deportes' is plural so 'gustan'. The alternatives either misuse number or incorrect negation structures.
Which sentence correctly expresses 'I don't like to study' using 'gustar'?
No me gusta estudiar.
No me gustar estudiar.
No me gustan estudiar.
No me gusta a estudiar.
After 'gusta', the infinitive 'estudiar' is used as the subject. The negative 'no' precedes the pronoun. The other options misuse gerunds, infinitives, or sentence order.
Which sentence uses 'molestar' correctly in a gustar-like construction?
Me molesta el ruido.
Me molestan el ruido.
Me molestan los ruidos.
Me molesta los ruidos.
'Ruido' is singular so the verb 'molesta' must be singular. 'Me molestan los ruidos' would require plural if 'ruidos'. The incorrect options misalign number agreement.
Which sentence correctly uses 'gustar' with two verbs: 'I like to swim and to run'?
Me gusta nadar y correr.
Me gustan nadar y correr.
Me gusta nadar y gustar correr.
Me gusto nadar y correr.
Listing two infinitives functions as a singular subject, so 'gusta' remains in the singular form with 'me'. The incorrect options either misuse number or verb forms.
Which sentence correctly uses the subjunctive after 'gustar' to say 'I like that you come to my party'?
Me gusta que vengas a mi fiesta.
Me gusta que vienes a mi fiesta.
Me gusto que vengas a mi fiesta.
Me gustan que vengas a mi fiesta.
After 'que' expressing desire or preference, the verb must be in the subjunctive: 'vengas'. 'Gusta' agrees with the clause as a singular idea.
Translate 'It bothers them when it rains' using 'molestar' with appropriate pronouns.
Les molesta cuando llueve.
Les molestan cuando llueve.
Le molesta cuando llueve.
Los molesta cuando llueve.
'Molesta' agrees with the impersonal clause 'cuando llueve' as singular. The pronoun 'les' targets 'them'. Plural forms or wrong pronouns are incorrect.
Which sentence best conveys a strong dislike ('to hate' colloquially) using a gustar-like verb?
Odiar el brócoli.
Me choca el brócoli.
Me disgusta el brócoli.
Me odio el brócoli.
The verb 'chocar' in this context expresses a strong dislike and follows a gustar-like structure. 'Disgustar' expresses dislike but less intensely, and 'odio' does not use indirect object pronouns.
Identify the sentence that is grammatically incorrect due to reflexive use of 'gustar'.
Él se gusta ante el espejo.
Le gusta el espejo.
Él se mira en el espejo.
Me gusta mi reflejo.
Gustar is not used reflexively in this context; 'Él se gusta ante el espejo' is incorrect. One would say 'Le gusta el espejo' to mean 'he likes the mirror'.
In which sentence does 'gustar' agree properly with a compound subject 'bread and cheese'?
Me gusta el pan y el queso.
Me gustan el pan y el queso.
Me gusta el pan y queso.
Me gusta los pan y los quesos.
A compound subject of two items requires the plural verb form 'gustan'. The first and third options misuse the singular form, and the fourth misuses articles and number.

Cheat Sheet

  1. "Gustar" Means "To Be Pleasing" - In Spanish, gustar literally means "to be pleasing," so the subject of the sentence is what's liked and the person who likes it is the indirect object. For example, Me gusta el chocolate translates to "Chocolate is pleasing to me," or simply "I like chocolate." Embracing this twist will make expressing likes and dislikes a breeze! Using gustar to say you like something
  2. Master the Indirect Object Pronouns - Get friendly with me (to me), te (to you), le (to him/her/formal you), nos (to us), os (to you all informal), and les (to them/formal you all). These little pronouns are your ticket to saying who feels the pleasure or pain in a sentence. Practice makes perfect, so sprinkle them in every gustar phrase! Using gustar to say you like something
  3. Conjugate "Gustar" for Singular and Plurals - Use gusta when the thing you love is singular and gustan when it's plural: Me gusta el libro versus Me gustan los libros. This distinction keeps your Spanish sounding smooth and accurate, preventing any mix-ups in class discussions or chat with amigos! Using gustar to say you like something
  4. Enjoy Activities with "Gustar" + Infinitives - To say you like doing something, attach an infinitive right after gustar, and always use the singular form: Me gusta nadar (I like to swim) or Nos gusta bailar (We like dancing). This formula works every time, whether you're listing one hobby or a hundred! Using gustar to say you like to do something
  5. Emphasize WHO Screams for Fútbol! - When you need to clarify who's doing the liking, use a + name or pronoun: A Juan le gusta el fútbol or A mí me gusta el chocolate. It's perfect for avoiding confusion when multiple people are in the mix! Using gustar to say you like something
  6. Explore Other "Gustar-Style" Verbs - Verbs like encantar (to love), interesar (to interest), and molestar (to bother) follow the same pattern as gustar. Swap in these verbs with your trusty indirect pronouns and watch your vocabulary soar. It's a delicious buffet of Spanish emotion verbs! Verbs like "Gustar"
  7. Don't Forget the Definite Article - In Spanish, you'll usually say Me gusta la música or Me gustan los perros. That little el, la, los, or las before the noun makes all the difference, unlike in English where we often skip it. It's like the spice that brings flavor to your sentences! Using gustar to say you like something
  8. Negate Likes with a Simple "No" - To express dislikes, just pop no before the pronoun: No me gusta el brócoli. Easy peasy - you've got instant dislike down in seconds. Perfect for when vegetables just aren't your jam! Using gustar to say you like something
  9. Ask Questions About Preferences - Flip the structure and use the correct pronoun to make questions: ¿Te gusta el cine? or ¿Les gustan las fiestas? Now you can quiz your friends on their favorite things and start lively conversations in Spanish! Using gustar to say you like something
  10. Spot the Difference with Emotion Verbs - Compare gustar to verbs like alegrar (to make happy) to see how meanings shift: Me gusta el arte versus Me alegra el arte. This sleuth work in your studies will sharpen your understanding of Spanish emotional nuances! Using gustar to say you like something
