GUSTAR

GUSTAR: Tips and tricks Remember, the trick to remembering how to use GUSTAR is to remember that you aren’t literally say “I like ____” but rather you are saying “ _______ is pleasing to me.” For this reason, what we think of in English as being the object, is actually working as the subject in the sentence and the verb must match it. The indirect object pronoun (IOP) is what you need to match to who is doing the liking.

What if you want to be more specific? If you want to be more specific or give more emphasis, you can add these to the beginnings of the sentence: With me  With os  A mí A vosotros With te  A vosotras With les  A ti With le  A ustedes A usted A ellos A él A ellas A ella A [nombre] y a [nombre] A [nombre] With nos  A nosotros A nosotras A [nombre] y a mí
