Key learning points
- If a word has a stress on the antepenultimate syllable there will always be an accent on the stressed vowel.
- Gustar-type verbs are used with an indirect object pronoun because they show an effect on someone or something.
- Other gustar-type verbs are 'molestar', 'importar', 'interesar', 'preocupar', 'alegrar', 'gustar' and 'encantar'.
- When an infinitive is used as a subject, we refer to it as ‘it’, so we must use the '-a' ending for gustar-type verbs.
Keywords
Antepenultimate syllable - pronouncing the third-last syllable more heavily than other syllables in a word
Indirect object pronouns - replaces the person, people or thing(s) that the verb action is done to, when the action is to me, for you, to them
Gustar-type verbs - type of verb that appears after an indirect object pronoun
Common misconception
With gustar-type verbs, the verb agrees with the person who likes something.
In gustar-type verbs, the verb agrees with the subject - the thing liked, literally, the thing that pleases - not the person, e.g. 'Me gusta la música.' Since 'música' is singular, the correct form is 'gusta'.
