What the heck Szelag? I barely know pronouns.
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS??

• Well, its because in Spanish Gustar is a
  special verb.
• In English, we translate it as to like but in
  Spanish it really means to be pleasing.
• And when it is translated as to be pleasing, we
  have to tell WHO it is pleasing TO.
• Thats where those indirect object pronouns come
  from.

5
So this is how they are translated



me
nos
to me
to us
te
X
to you (inf)
X
le
les
to him/her/you (form)
to them/to yall

End of DAY 1

• Yep, it aint over yet kiddos!! More tomorrow

So now we know to whom we are referring, right?

• Now we want to add emphasisTo express that
  something is important or express surprise to
  someone we add a (a noun or pronoun) before the
  INDIRECT OBJECT PRONOUN.

A mi, me A nosotros, nos
A ti, te
A él/Juan, le A ella/Ana, le A usted, le A ellos, les A ellas, les A ustedes, les
8
Now we can add conjugated Gustar
(A mi), me gusta (A nosotros), nos gusta
(A ti), te gusta
A él/Juan, le gusta A ella/Ana, le gusta A usted, le gusta A ellos, les gusta A ellas, les gusta A ustedes, les gusta
In third person singular and plural, you have to
let me know who you are talking about. Use the
persons name/s whenever possible.
9
Final step!
Now we can add a verb at the end! Since we
technically already conjugated gustar to become
gusta, the next verb is NEVER conjugated.
Leave it in the infinitive (infinitive means
endless ways it could be conjugated !!
(A mi), me gusta correr I like to run/Running is pleasing to me. (A nosotros), nos gusta correr We like to run/Running is pleasing to us.
(A ti), te gusta correr You like to run/Running is pleasing to you.
A él/Juan, le gusta correr He/Juan likes to run/Running is pleasing to him A ella/Ana, le gusta correr She/Ana likes to run/Running is pleasing to her. A usted, le gusta correr You like to run/Running is please to you. A ellos, les gusta correr They like to run/Running is pleasing to them. A ellas, les gusta correr They like to run/Running is pleasing to them. A ustedes, les gusta correr Yall like to run/Running is pleasing to yall.
