Infinitives Verbs are words that are most often used to name actions. Verbs in English have different forms depending on who is doing the action or when the action is occurring: I walk, she walks, we walked, etc An infinitive tells the meaning of the verb without indicating any subject. It is the most basic form of the verb. When you need to look up a verb, you will always need to look up the infinitive form. In English, you can spot infinitives because they always have the word "to" in front of them: to buy, to learn, to write Infinitives in Spanish, though, don t have a separate word like "to" in front of them. Spanish infinitives are only one word, and always end in -ar, -er, or -ir: comprar, aprender, escribir -ar verbs alquilar un DVD andar en patineta comprar cuidar niños descansar dibujar to rent a DVD to skateboard to buy to baby-sit to rest to draw

Defective Verb Gustar The verb gustar expresses likes and it does not work like regular verbs. Regular verbs are conjugated according to the subject. Gustar however does not use subject pronouns. That is to say it is preceded by me, te, le, when stating that I, you, he or she like something. When stating that we, you (plural), or they like something, gustar is preceded by nos, os, or les. me, te, le, nos, os, or les are indirect object pronouns. Thus the verb gustar is considered defective because it is generally only conjugated in the third person followed by the verb's subject and preceded by an object. So the word order is: Indirect object pronoun + verb + subject Other verbs that are usually used in the same way include: aburrir doler encantar faltar importar interesar parecer quedar sorprender to bore to hurt or ache to like a lot/to love/to enchant to be lacking/ to be insufficient to matter to interest to seem to remain / to fit to surprise In reality these verbs aren't truly defective verbs, because they exist in all conjugations, even though they are most common in the third person. The way they are used also doesn't seem to be particularly unusual to native Spanish speakers; they tend initially to be confusing to English speakers learning Spanish because of the way they are translated.
Generally gustar is taught to mean to like however the true meaning is to be pleasing. English speakers do not generally go around saying things like Peanut butter is pleasing to me. What is commonly heard is I like peanut butter. So gustar is agreeing with what is following it, while what is before gustar is indicating who is doing the liking. Use me gusta to talk about a singular noun or an infinitive verb. Me gusta el café y me gusta comer el helado. me te le nos les } gusta } Singular noun or Infinitive verb Anytime you talk about an acitivity (verbs) such as playing a sport, singing, dancing, etc the defective verb must in the singular form. Me gusta cantar. A ella le gusta cantar y bailar. I like to sing. She like to sing and dance. Ejemplos: Gustar with an Infinitive or singular noun me gusta comer la crema de cacahuate nos gusta comer la crema de cacahuate me gusta la clase nos gusta la clase te gusta comer la crema de cacahuate os gusta comer la crema de cacahuate te gusta la clase os gusta la clase le gusta comer la crema de cacahuate les gusta comer la crema de cacahuate le gusta la clase les gusta la clase
Use me gustan to talk about plural nouns or more than one noun. Me gustan las fresas pero no me gustan mucho los plátanos. me te le nos les } gustan } plural nouns or more than one noun Ejemplo: Gustar with plural nouns or with more than one noun. me gustan las frutas nos gustan las frutas me gustan la piña y el plátano nos gustan la piña y el plátano te gustan las frutas os gustan las frutas te gustan la piña y el plátano os gustan la piña y el plátano ate le gustan las frutas les gustan las frutas le gustan la piña y el plátano les gustan la piña y el plátano When you use me gusta and me gustan to talk about a noun, include el, la, los, or las. Me gusta el jugo de naranja pero no me gusta la leche. So in the statement Le gusta comer la crema de cacahuate. It is unclear who likes eating peanut butter. It could be he, she or you formal likes to eat peanut butter. I can clarify my statement by saying A Paco le gusta comer la crema de cacahuate. So the formula a + [name or pronoun] is frequently used to clarify or emphasize who is doing the liking To clarify:
Le gusta a Rafael? A ellos no les gusta. Does Rafael like it? They don t like it. To emphasize: A mí me gusta mirar la televisión! Me, I like to watch television! A nosotros nos gusta mirar la televisión! Us, we like to watch television! In the above statement is may sound redundant however it is emphasizing who exactly like to watch television. a mí a ti a usted a él a ella me gusta(n) te gusta(n) le gusta(n) le gusta(n) le gusta(n) a nosotros(as) a vosotros (as) a ustedes a ellos a ellas nos gusta(n) os gusta(n) les gusta(n) les gusta(n) les gusta(n) For now think of defective verbs as having only two conjugations, the 3rd person singular and plural (gusta and gustan) Infinitive Inglés 3rd person singular 3rd person plural aburrir to bore aburre aburren doler [o >ue] to hurt or ache duele duelen encantar to like a lot/to love/to enchant encanta encantan faltar to be lacking/ to be insufficient falta faltan importar to matter importa importan interesar to interest interesan interesan parecer to seem parece parecen quedar to remain / to fit queda quedan sorprender to surprise sorprende sorprenden
For Negative Sentences Ejemplos: Emphasizers/ clarifiers A mí A él, A ella, A usted Indirect Object Pronoun Defective verb What defective verb agreed with No me fascina Soccer is fascinating el fútbol. to me. A ti No te molestan los moscos. Flies are bothering me. No le interesan los deportes. Sports are interesting to him. A nosotros No nos duele el estomago. The stomach is hurting us. A ellos, No les aburren las clases. Classes are boring to A ellas, them. A ustedes The word order is the opposite of that in English. Soccer fascinates me. Flies bother me. Sports interest him. The stomach hurts us. Classes bore them. Remember that possessive adjectives are not used with body parts. Use the definite article instead. Me duele la cabeza. (Literally the head is aching me.)
Clase de Español 1 Expressing Agreement or Disagreement To agree with what a person likes, you use "a mí también." It's like saying "me too" in English. Me gusta pasar tiempo con amigos. A mí también. I like to spend time with friends. Me too. If someone tells you that he or she dislikes something, you can agree by saying "a mí tampoco." It's like saying "me neither", or "neither do I" in English. No me gusta nada cantar. A mí tampoco. I don't like to sing at all. Me neither. When two verbs go walking the first does the talking To conjugate or NOT to conjugate: Infinitive Phrases Common Infinitive Phrases Prepositional phrases are generally followed by an infinitive. Such as: Antes de+ infinitive Después de + infinitive Me gusta + infinitivo Deber + infinitive Before + infinitive After + infinitive I like + infinitive Should + infinitive Ejemplos: Antes de comer una hamburguesa debes lavarte las manos. Before eating a hamburger you should wash your hands. 10/07/2013 11:39 AM 15
Clase de Español 1 Después de comer, debes descansar un poco. After eating, you should rest a little. Nos gusta andar en patineta. We like to skateboard. When two verbs go walking Man Pedro, you are so lucky you don t have to talk People always look at me to see what s going on, who is doing what blah, blah, blah Grrr If I could talk, I wouldn t be on this stinking leash letting you control everything! The first verb does the talking. (i.e. in verb pairs, only the first verb is conjugated and the second stays in the infinitive) Ex: Debemos estudiar, Te gusta patinar Expansión del Vocabulario Talk About Activities la reunión trabajar a tiempo parcial trabajar de voluntario Instruments el clarinete la flauta meeting to work part-time to volunteer clarinet flute 10/07/2013 11:39 AM 16
