Verb + infinitive: me gusta + infinitive
In Spanish, to express what you like to do, you use gustar followed by an infinitive. But careful — gustar works differently from English! The thing you like is the subject:
- Me gusta leer. → I like to read. (literally: "Reading pleases me.")
- Te gusta cocinar. → You like to cook.
- Le gusta bailar. → He/She likes to dance.
The verb gustar agrees with what follows it, not the person:
- Me gusta leer. (one activity)
- Me gustan los deportes. (plural noun)
Other verbs that work the same way: encantar (to love), interesar (to interest), apetecer (to fancy).
Example: "Me encanta dibujar." → "I love to draw."
Adverbs of frequency
To say how often you do something, use these adverbs — usually placed before the verb:
- siempre → always
- a menudo / frecuentemente → often
- a veces → sometimes
- casi nunca → hardly ever
- nunca → never
Example: "A veces leo por la noche." → "Sometimes I read at night."
Example: "Nunca cocino los lunes." → "I never cook on Mondays."

Типичные ошибки
Yo gusto leer.Me gusta leer.Gustar doesn't work like 'to like' - the thing liked is the subject. Use 'me gusta', not 'yo gusto'.
Me gusta los deportes.Me gustan los deportes.When what you like is plural, gustar must be plural too: gustan, not gusta.
Me gusta mucho el leer.Me gusta mucho leer.Don't use 'el' before infinitives after gustar - just use the infinitive directly.
Yo siempre gusto cocinar.Siempre me gusta cocinar.The adverb of frequency goes before 'me gusta', and remember the indirect object pronoun 'me'.
Nunca no cocino.Nunca cocino.In Spanish you don't use double negatives with 'nunca' before the verb.
Me gusta hacer la fotografía.Me gusta hacer fotografía.Activities as hobbies generally don't take the article.
