✕Common Mistakes
¿Qué evento literario es tu favorito?
Using 'es' with 'gustar' is incorrect; the verb should be 'gustar' with an indirect object pronoun.
¿Qué evento literario te gustas más?
The reflexive form changes the meaning to 'you like yourself'. Use 'te gusta' for liking something external.
¿Qué evento literario te gusta más que?
In a direct question you only need 'más' to ask for the most liked; adding 'que' creates a comparative clause that sounds unnatural here.
