Verbo Gustar

Un verb differente - A different type of verb

The verb "gustar" is an -ar ending verb, but it has a different conjugation pattern than regular verbs. This is because "gustar" means "to be pleasing" to someone. So, instead of using the typical "-o, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, -an" conjugation pattern, it uses a different structure. For example, to say "I like the book" in Spanish, we would say "to me is pleasing the book". This may sound strange in English, but it makes sense in Spanish. Alternatively, we can say "the book is pleasing to me".
