Lo que me molesta es, lo que me gusta es ...What bothers me is...what I like is...

Question

I have been seeing this mistake pretty often so maybe you wish to practise this structure

Same subject:

Lo que me molesta es + infinitive

Lo que me molesta es ir en autobús al trabajo.

What bothers me is to go by bus to work

The same subject is used, so we just use the infinitive, like in English.

Different subject:

Lo que me molesta es que + sujeto + subjuntivo

Lo que me molesta es que mi marido juegue a las cartas.

What bothers me is that my husband plays cards.

A different subject is used, in English we just use the indicative mood, in Spanish the subjunctive is used.

We can do the same with gustar:

Lo que me gusta/algo que me gusta es que mi gato juegue todo el día

Lo que me gusta/algo que me gusta es ir a la piscina.

You can provide the English sentence, but it is not mandatory.

One sentence per post, I will correct the posts INSIDE your own post, so watch this thread for corrections

Answer 3

Lo que me molesta más es que, haga lo que haga, sigo haciendo errores en español.

Hi Heidita, this is contrary of me, but I wrote it this way because, in this case, it seems correct to use the subj first person singular because of the "haga lo que haga" clause that separates the other two clauses. I may be wrong, but then I wouldn't know how else to say it. Without the middle clause, of course, it is just

Lo que me molesta más es cometer errores en español.

You are using an expression here, it is always haga lo que haga, both subjunctive. If you use es que...this is always followed by subjunctive.

Yeah, if I didn't type haga lo que haga it was a typo. I know you never make these mistakes, but we mortals do! - Jeremias, Oct 11, 2011
