Gustar — Practice — Answer Key

Practice

1. gusta Explanation: "Pizza" is singular, so we use gusta (not gustan). "Me gusta la pizza" = I like pizza (pizza is pleasing to me).
2. Yes, it's correct Explanation: "Frutas" is plural, so gustan is correct. "Te gustan las frutas" = You like fruits (fruits are pleasing to you).
3. gusta Explanation: "Fútbol" (soccer) is singular. The prepositional phrase "A Juan" clarifies who we're talking about. "A Juan le gusta el fútbol" = Juan likes soccer.
4. gusta Explanation: With infinitives (viajar), always use gusta (singular), even with nosotros. "Nos gusta viajar" = We like to travel.
5. Le Explanation: For "she" (ella), we use le. "Le gusta la música" = She likes music. Me = I, Te = you, Le = he/she/you formal.
6. las Explanation: "Películas" (movies) is plural feminine. You need the definite article "las" to make the sentence complete. "Me gustan las películas" = I like movies.
7. Nos gusta cantar Explanation: With gustar, you use the infinitive (cantar), not the gerund (cantando). "Nos gusta cantar" = We like to sing.
8. gustan Explanation: "Libros" (books) is plural, so we use gustan. "Les gustan los libros" = They like books.
