The verb 'gustar'
The verb GUSTAR is a little different in Spanish. Instead of conjugating GUSTAR like most verbs
(e.g., I, you he, she, etc.), it is used with indirect objects (e.g., to me, to you, to him,
to her, etc.). In other words, Spanish speakers do not say "I like the house." Instead, they
something more like, "The house is nice to me." When you use the verb GUSTAR, there are three
general patterns, depending on whether what you like is a singular noun, a plural noun, or a verb.
The verb form "gustan" is always in the plural when the noun is plural or there are two nouns. Examples (plural noun):
The verb form "gusta" is always in the singular when it is followed by a verb, even if there are many verbs listed. Examples (singular with verbs):
