GUSTAR WITH INFINITIVES• Page 86 in textbook

• An infinitive is a verb without a subject

• Three types of infinitives

• Infinitives that end in –ar• Infinitives that end in –er• Infinitives that end in –ir

• Just like nouns, infinitives can be used after “gustar” to say what you and others like to do

• Always use “gusta” (not “gustan”) with infinitives

• Me gustan los deportes. (I like sports)• Me gusta jugar deportes. (I like to play sports)

PRONOUNS AFTER PREPOSITIONS• Pronouns can stand or be replaced with the same noun

yet still have different forms, depending on how they’re being used in a sentence.

• You already know subject pronouns and the pronouns used with “gustar”. But pronouns have a different form when they come after prepositions like:

“a” (to) “de” (of, from, about)

“con”(with) “en” (in, on, at)

Subject With gustar After Prep. English

Yo me mi I

Tu te ti You

Usted le usted (Formal) You

El/Ella le el/ella He/She

Nosotros nos nosotros We

Ustedes les ustedes (Plural) You

Ellos/Ellas les ellos/ellas They/Them

PRONOUNS AFTER PREPOSITIONS (CONT.)• The pronouns “mi” and “ti” combine with “con” to make

the special forms:

• Conmigo – With me• Contigo – with you

• With gustar, the phrase formed by “a” and a pronoun can be added to a sentence to clarify or emphasize who likes something.

QUERER WITH INFINITIVES• To say what you or others want, use the verb “querer”
