Question

what is difference between using the verb gustar with an infinitive verses a noun

Answer 1

The only difference is what it is that you are talking about.

So, for example:

Me gusta este libro. (I like this book.)

Me gusta leer libros. (I like reading books. / I like to read books.)

If you use a noun after "gustar," you need to pay attention to whether the noun is singular or plural. If the noun is plural, you will need to make "gustar" plural by saying "gustan."

Me gusta este libro. (I like this book.)

Me gustan libros. (I like books.)

Answer 2

I can give you two examples. Is this what you're looking for ?

Me gusta viajar (infinitive)

Me gustan las manzanas (noun)

"Me gustan las manzanas." is correct. The word "manzanas" is plural, so the verb gustar needs to be plural as well. - Luciente, Dec 15, 2009

Odd question as the infinitive is also a noun in this context. And what about subject pronouns? - 0074b507, Dec 16, 2009
