Key learning points
- 'Interesar'-type verbs express likes, emotions, interests - they work differently to normal Spanish verbs.
- Instead of saying 'I am interested in something', we say 'something interests me' - 'me interesan estas aplicaciones.'
- 'Interesar'-type verbs agree with the subject, the ‘interesting thing(s)’; indirect object ‘me’ shows who is interested.
- Emphatic pronouns are used after prepositions such as 'a', 'para' 'sin', 'sobre', 'con'.
- When used after 'a' before an 'interesar'-type verb, emphatic pronouns emphasise the person affected by the verb.
Keywords
'interesar'-type verbs - group of verbs which require the use of an indirect object pronoun
Indirect object pronoun - refers to a person or thing that is indirectly affected by the verb, e.g. 'to me', 'to her', 'to them', etc.
Preposition - a word that is used before a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun, connecting it to another word
Emphatic pronoun - used to emphasise a person or after certain prepositions
Common misconception
Indirect object pronouns are the same as emphatic pronouns.
Indirect object pronouns refer to a person or thing indirectly affected by the verb and go before 'interesar'-type verbs, while emphatic pronouns are used for emphasis after prepositions.
