Am I confused or is this a mistake?

Question

In one of the practice games over on Visual Link, the translation given for “We have never liked to count them (los frijoles)” is “Nunca nos ha gustado contarlos.” I I thought it should be “Nunca nos hemos gustado contarlos.” What is it that I don’t understand?

Answer 1

“Nunca nos ha gustado contarlos.

This is correct because "ha gustado" refers to the action of counting and not to "us." In English: Counting them has never pleased us.

Translating gustar to like rather than to please will always cause confusion because doing so creates a subject that isn´t.

I hadn't thought about it like that, but it makes perfect sense. Thanks. - AnnRon, Aug 13, 2013

Answer 2

Not sure, but isn't "ha gustado" referring to "counting", not "we" or "them". In other words,,, Counting (them) has never pleased us.
