Verbs with gustar

Gusta or gustan?

Notes An infinitive is an unconjugated verb that ends in –AR, -ER or –IR. It tells the meaning of the verb without naming the subject or tense. Examples: cantar- to sing Comer- to eat Escribir- to write To say that you like to do something, use gustar followed by the infinitive Examples: Me gusta cantar. I like to sing Te gusta comer. You like to eat Le gusta escribir. He likes to write. We always use gusta followed by an infinitive. Gustan is only used when the things following the verb are plural. Examples: Me gusta la pizza. (single item) Me gusta comer. (a verb) Me gustan las pizzas. (plural item)
