The Spanish verb gustar

(to please, to love, to like, to be attracted, to sample, to taste, etc.)

The use of the verb gustar needs some explanation.
It is preceded by the indirect object me, te, le, etc.
In English I can like football (football is object) or football pleases me (football is subject). In Spanish it is always the latter.
'Me gusta el fútbol' or, to make it stronger, 'A mí me gusta el fútbol'. Gustar conjugates to 'el fútbol'.
In this way we know two conjugations of gustar. Gusta with a verb or a noun singular and gustan with a noun plural.
To make the sentence negative, we put 'no' before the indirect object. 'No me gusta el futbol'.

A mí (no) me A ti (no) te A él A ella A usted (no) le A nosotros A nosotras (no) nos A vosotros A vosotras (no) os A ellos A ellas A ustedes (no) les
