HI everybody, having seen the difficulties many people encounter with this verb, same as encantarwink, I am opening this thread in order to correct the posts accordingly.

The idea is to follow the a - z system using verbs. I would like you to make O N E sentence with a verb following the correct order. .

Game rules

1) Follow in alphabetical order of the V E R B !!

2) Write a sentence in Spanish that includes gustar/encantar. Also provide the English translation for your sentence.

3) Don't forget to click on NEWEST to see the last letter played.

4) Use different persons, like your wife, your kids, plural forms, singular...

5) Remember, you need subjunctive for the "if-sentence" wink

I will start with the letter A:

arreglar

A mi marido le gustaría arreglar el coche si supiera algo de mecánicaraspberry.

My husband would like to mend the car himself if he knew anything about cars! jeje
