En el ejemplo uno: ¿no deberíamos usar "les encantan" en lugar de "les encanta"?
El ejemplo como publicado: A los caimanes que viven en el pantano les encanta solearse. The alligators that live in the swamp love taking sunbaths.
1 Answer
No, it should be encanta.
Encantar works like gustar.
The caimans/alligators are the indirect object.
Solearse is the subject, and as an infinitive is a single subject, so encanta.
Les is the indirect object that relates to caimanes.
Sunning themselves is enchanting to the caimans that live in the swamp.
We can express that (probably more naturally) as they love sunning themselves in English, but that is not how it is being expressed in Spanish. If you used amar instead yes it would be aman, but I think encantar is the more natural expression in Spanish.
