✕Common Mistakes
Sí, me gusta estirarse.
The reflexive pronoun must agree with the speaker; use ‘estirarme’ for ‘I’.
Sí, me gusto estirarme.
‘Gustar’ never changes to ‘gusto’ for the speaker; the verb always agrees with the thing liked.
Sí, me gusta estirar.
Without the reflexive pronoun the verb loses the meaning ‘to stretch oneself’.

Sí, me encanta estirarme.
Yes, I love to stretch.
Sí, disfruto estirarme.
Yes, I enjoy stretching.
Claro, me gusta estirarme.
Sure, I like to stretch.
Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, stretching is a common part of warm‑up and cool‑down routines, especially in sports and yoga classes. Using ‘gustar’ with an infinitive (me gusta + verb) is the natural way to talk about activities you enjoy. Remember that the reflexive pronoun must match the subject – ‘me gusta estirarme’, not ‘me gusta estirarse’.
