2 Two-Form Verbs In Spanish, some verbs have only two forms. I like to call these verbs two- form verbs. The most common two-form verb is gustar, or to like.

3 Gustar The two forms of gustar that we use are the él, ella, Ud. (gusta) and ellos, ellas, Uds. forms (gustan). *There are NO other verb forms that we use with two-form verbsONLY 3 rd person singular and plural!

5 Gustar – to be pleasing to The verb is conjugated depending on whether whats being liked is singular or plural. Ejemplo: I like soccer.

(The dogs are pleasing to me) Me gustan perros. ***In this case, we used the ellos/ellas/Uds. form of gustar because the word perros is plural.
