Cheat Sheet
Indirect Object Pronouns Are Key -
In gustar constructions, the person who likes something is actually the indirect object, so you use pronouns like me, te, le, nos, os, and les. For example, "Me gusta el chocolate" (I like chocolate). This rule is highlighted in many university Spanish 101 syllabi (e.g., University of Texas at Austin).
Verb Agreement with the Liked Item -
Unlike regular verbs, gustar agrees with the subject - the thing being liked - so use gusta for singular items and gustan for plurals. Remember "Me gustan las películas" vs. "Me gusta la película." A handy mnemonic is "Gusta gets singular, Gustan gets plural" (SpanishDict reference).
Negative and Question Forms -
To form negatives, simply place "no" before the indirect object pronoun: "No me gusta el café." For questions, invert the order: "¿Te gustan las manzanas?" Practice with gustar in our gustar practice quiz to master these variations (Purdue OWL language guide).
Using Gustar with Infinitives -
When liking actions, always use the infinitive form and the singular gusta: "Nos gusta bailar," never "gustan bailar." This pattern appears in official RAE examples and ensures your practice gustar exercises stay accurate.
Expand to Similar Verbs -
Verbs like encantar, interesar, and aburrir follow the same indirect-object pattern as gustar - e.g., "A ella le encanta leer." Group them as "verbos al revés" (backward verbs) for easy recall during your gustar practice quiz (ACTFL guidelines).
