Questions About Gustar and Similar Verbs
Q: Why is it me gustan los libros and NOT yo gusto los libros?
R: Remember, the subject of gustar is the noun that follows. Also, the expression yo (le/te/os) gusto should be avoided (or used with extreme caution only when you mean that you are pleasing to other people).
Q: Why is it A él le gustan las bibliotecas and NOT A él le gusta las bibliotecas?
R: Remember the verb must agree with the plural subject las bibliotecas, normally what comes after the verb, not the object a él/le.
Q: Why is it A Ricardo le encanta el cafe and NOT Ricardo encanta el cafe?
R: When using a name, start with the personal a and make sure you use a pronoun as well (e.g.: le).
Q: Why is it A mí me fascina leer and NOT A mi me fascina leer?
R: The object phrase uses the pronoun mí with an accent when referring to the first person ("me"). Only use the possessive mi to mean "my" e.g.: A mi padre le fascina leer.
