Gustar

The Verb "To Like"

How do we talk about likes?

To discuss the likes and dislikes of people, we use the verb GUSTAR.

If we wanted to talk about what SINGULAR thing we like, we say the following: "(A mi) me gusta...

Notice the “A …” phrase at the front? These are clarifiers that help the audience specify WHO is doing the liking.
