Learning how to express likes and dislikes is an important step in improving your fluency in any language. Today we’re going to look at how to talk about likes and dislikes in Spanish, focusing on a few key verbs.<\/p>\n

Like<\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n

A while back, we learned how to use the Spanish power verb gustar<\/em> (to like)<\/span><\/a>. Check that post for some examples in case you missed it. Just to review, here’s how you conjugate gustar<\/i> in the simple present tense:<\/span><\/p>\n

(A m\u00ed) me gusta\/gustan
\n(A ti) te gusta\/gustan
\nA usted le gusta\/gustan
\nA \u00e9l le gusta\/gustan
\nA ella le gusta\/gustan
\n(A nosotros) nos gusta\/gustan
\nA ustedes les gusta\/gustan
\nA ellos\/ellas les gusta\/gustan<\/div>
I like
\nYou like (familiar)
\nYou like (formal)
\nHe likes
\nShe likes
\nWe like
\nYou like (plural)
\nThey like<\/div>
<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n

As is usually the case, I, you (familiar) and we are all implied, so it’s not necessary to add a\u00a0m\u00ed<\/i>, a ti<\/i>, or a nosotros<\/i>. You use gusta<\/i> when talking about singular nouns and verbs and gustan<\/i> for plural nouns. To make a negative statement, simply add no<\/i> before the correct form of gustar<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Watching football in Guadalajara.<\/p><\/div>\n

Now I’ll tell you a few things about myself to show you some sentences expressing likes\/dislikes:<\/span><\/p>\n
