About verbo gustar

Question

Do we conjugate the verbs used in verbo gustar?

Answer 1

You actually are conjugating "gustar", but only to the 3rd person singular or plural.

Since, literally, like Kevin said, you are saying:

It pleases me to read. -> Me gusta leer.

They please me the apples. -> Me gustan las manzanas.

Answer 2

Do you mean in sentences like, "I like to read"? If so, the answer is no. It would be, Me gusta leer. It's the same as English, bearing in mind that gustar means "to please", not "to like".

Answer 3

You actually are conjugating "gustar", but only to the 3rd person singular or plural.

You can say 'me gustáis' = I like you guys.

For I like us... 'me gustamos' sounds weird, you'd better say 'me caímos bien'.

"I like us." sounds a bit odd too. "le gustamos." on the other hand is not at all weird. - samdie, Sep 29, 2011

Answer 4

You actually are conjugating "gustar", but only to the 3rd person singular or plural.

In the sentence given, it is 3rd pers. singular but, despite what some people say, the complete conjugation of "gustar" includes all persons/tenses. Although less frequent, "gustar" can appear in any person (the only requirement being that, like all verbs the inflection of the verb must agree with the grammatical subject [the subject in Spanish, of course]).
