Learn the idea

Possessives and demonstratives describe whose object or which nearby referent is meant. Gustar organizes a preference around the thing liked, so its verb number follows that grammatical subject rather than the person experiencing the preference. An infinitive activity can function as the thing liked in a basic gustar statement. Me gusta leer expresses I like reading; the action remains an infinitive rather than becoming a second first-person finite verb.

Use Me gusta plus the supplied activity infinitive. Preserve its ar/er/ir ending. These tasks describe one activity as a unit; they do not ask you to conjugate that action or compare multiple separate subjects.

Do not use Me gusto leo to imitate English word order. Multiple coordinated infinitives and other complex subjects have additional agreement possibilities outside the narrow single-activity pattern. Keep the specific activity the prompt assigns.

1. Copy the supplied example and underline its speaker, noun, time cue or evidence words.
2. Apply the shown language rule; keep any required ending, accent or paired punctuation.
3. Solve the changed independent check, then explain why one offered alternative fails.
4. Complete all three new practice cases and use the model to correct the precise word or meaning.
