Nos gustan la clase de hisoria.

Question

Would lit be gustan or gustaba?

Historia. - Jeremias, Oct 27, 2011

Answer 1

It could be gusta, gustó, or gustaba. But not gustan. The subject is "la clase", so the verb has to be 3rd person singular, in whatever tense is appropriate.

Answer 2

I will be honest with you, on this you are not comparing equivalent tenses, and this is more complicated than your other.

If you are try for present tense:

No nos gusta la clase de historia. We do not like the history class.

If you are trying to do past tense:

No nos gustó la clase de historia. We did not like the history class.

Or

No nos gustaba la clase de historia, pero ahora nos gusta. We used to not like the history class, but now we do.

Oh, I see I was a little too slow on this one. :-) - Stadt, Oct 27, 2011

Answer 3

Nos gustan la clase de historia = We like history class. Nos is a reflesive pronoun here. It's like Me Peino, Me baño, Nos gustan is correct. It is a reflexive pronoun of Nosotros (we)

You might say nos gustamos to say we like ourselves, but otherwise, I don't think so. :-) - Stadt, Oct 27, 2011

Sorry, Antonio, but this information is incorrect. This pronoun is not being used reflexively, and "gustan" should be singular to match the singular noun (see Jeremias' post above) - Izanoni1, Oct 27, 2011

That's true. I didn't see that noun is singular, But is correct to say: Nos gustan las clases de Historia, Nos gustan las manzanas, nos gustan las uvas, etc,etc - Antonio007, Oct 28, 2011
