Grammar for unit 6:
# 1: How to use the verb gustar (Review from unit 5)
How to say someone likes or does not like to do something(verb)
Me gusta + infinitivo … = I like to (any verb you want).
No me gusta + infinitivo … = I don’t like to (any verb).
EXAMPLES: Me gusta estudiar español.
Me gusta bailar con chicas bonitas.
No me gusta nadar. I don’t like to swim.
How to say someone likes or does not like something (noun)
The indefinate article “the” must come before the noun that you like or do not like, even if you
do not say “the” in the sentence when translated into English. You use gusta for singular nouns,
and gustan for plural nouns. Follow the chart below:
Singular Noun
Plural Nouns
Me gusta+ el + noun
Me gustan + los + noun
Me gusta + la + noun
Me gustan + las + noun
Examples: Me gustan los tacos.
A José le gusta el verano.
¿Te gustan los perros?
Me gusta la casa blanca.
I like tacos.
José likes summer.
Do you like dogs?
I like the white house.
#2: Pronouns
In English, to say who is doing something, you can use either the person's name, title, or a
pronoun. Some English pronouns are I, you, he, she, we, they.
In Spanish, to say who is doing something, you can use either the person’s name, title or a
pronoun. The Spanish pronouns are listed in the chart below.
Iyou -
Singular
yo
tú
he él
she ella
it you - usted / Ud.
Plural
we
nosotros / nosotras
you guys vosotros / vosotras
they - ellos
they - ellas
you - ustedes / Uds.
In Spanish, the pronoun is not required except to clarify or emphasize. The ending on the verb
indicates who the subject is. See verb conjugation below.
#3: Verb Conjugation
All of the verbs in this unit end with ar. This is the infinitive form of the verb.
Examples: bailar (to dance), cantar (to sing), pintar (to paint).
The ar translates as “to”. This ending is changed to indicate who is doing the action. Take off
the ar ending and add the ending from the chart that corresponds to the subject pronoun that you
want.

Yo bailo (I dance)
Tú bailas (You dance)
Él baila (he dances)
Ella baila (she dances)
cantar
Yo canto (I sing)
Tú cantas (You sing)
Él canta (He sings)
Ella canta (She sings)
