Todd Hawkins - Singing the Basics Intermediate Spanish

Backward Verbs (gustar-type verbs in Spanish)

Don't be fooled by the backward verbs
The verbs that work like gustar
Just remember what the subject is
And what the objects are

Me gusta el café
Means coffee pleases me
Me doesn't seem indirect
But that the way it's gotta be

Le gustan los CDs
Means CDs please him
CDs are the subject, not le
Make gusta plural add an "n"

Le encantan los cafés
Cafés enchant him
Les molesta el TV
The TV bothers them

If you need to clarify
Don't forget to add an "a"
A Luis le gusta escribir
A Juan le gusta Panamá
