Answering Questions

• If someone asks you if you like something, you respond either yes or no. For example: Yes, I like to swim or No, I don't like to swim.

• To say yes, you simply put sí at the beginning of the sentence.

• To say no, you put no TWICE. No, no me gusta nadar.

Responding with no

• ¿Te gusta esquiar? No, no me gusta esquiar. (No, I don't like to ski.)

• ¿Te gusta nadar? No, no me gusta nadar. (No, I don't like to swim.)

But why are there two no's?

• In English, we say "no, I don't like".

• So the second no in Spanish is like saying "don't".

• No, I don't like to sing. --> No, no me gusta cantar.
