can you guys check to see if i did this right

Answer 1

1.) le encantan

2.) le molestan

3.) Correct

4.) Correct

5.) nos abbure

6.) nos gustan

7.) os apetece

8.) les molesta

9.) correct

10.) could be "se gustan (without further context)" but it appears that you forgot to add the rest of the sentence. Same with the rest after 11, it appears as if you didn't write the rest of the sentance or else they are supposed to be reciprocal by forming the reciprocal "se"

Just a little hint a as you conjugated many of the verbs incorrectly:

In a normal sentence, as you know, the word order goes SVO (S=subject, V=verb, O=object.)

an example of an SVO sentence is : [Yo] Voy a la playa. where "Yo=S, voy=V, playa=O."

In these sentences, the word order is a bit different. It's actually OVS, where the verb as you know is always conjugated to the subject. (very imprtant)

A mí me gustan las hormigas. where "Las hormigas=S, gustan=V, and a mí (yo)=O (actually indirect object)"

So the subject in these types of sentences comes after the verb. Also, verbs act as singular nouns in this case (and ironically act as the subject as well.)

"Me gusta nadar" where "nadar=S, gusta=V, a mí (yo)=O"

If you need a little more help send me a PM.

Answer 2

Good try Bizzaire, your errors mainly seem to be around one point - why don't you have a look at this lesson 'Gustar and other verbs like it' - especially this part ...

Eg: Me gusta el helado. (I like icecream. - lit. To me is pleasing icecream.)

Le gustan los gatos. (She likes cats. - lit. To her are pleasing cats.)

NB: Notice that the first example uses the verb gustar in the third person singular 'gusta' and the second example uses gustar in the third person plural 'gustan.

This is because 'gustar' must refer to 'who' or 'whatever' is the direct object in the sentence. Remember the meaning of gustar? Although it's translated to be the equivalent of the English 'to like' its literal meaning is closer to ..... is pleasing or ..... are pleasing .

So, for the first example 'icecream' (singular) is the the thing that 'is' pleasing so you'd use 'gusta' (3rd person singular) = 'it' is pleasing' .

But for the second one it's the 'cats' (plural) that 'are' pleasing so 'gustan' (3rd person plural) = 'they are pleasing'

.

and then see if you can see where your errors are, have another go and we'll have a look for you.
