34 GUSTAR If you can handle it: We say “me gusta bailar” means
“I like to dance” BUUUUUUT what you are REALLY saying is: “To dance is pleasing to me.”

35 GUSTAR When ASKING if someone likes to do something, it’s all in the voice: your vocal inflection needs to make it sound like a question. When writing, you use an upside down question mark at the beginning and a regular one at the end. Do you like to dance? ¿Te gusta bailar? Do you like to work? ¿Te gusta trabajar?

36 GUSTAR To ANSWER a question positively:
Yes, I like to dance = Sí , me gusta bailar. To ANSWER a question negatively: No, I don’t like to dance = No, no me gusta bailar. (you need 2 NOs = one for “No,” one for “don’t”)
