2

Verb agreement with infinitive

When gustar is followed by an infinitive, the verb gustar is conjugated in third person singular (gustó) because the infinitive phrase functions as a singular subject.

✕Common Mistakes

  • Me gustó hablar con tú.

    The correct contracted form is "contigo"; "con tú" is ungrammatical.

  • Me gustó hablar con usted.

    While grammatically correct, using "con usted" changes the register to formal; use it only in formal settings.

  • Me gustó hablar contigo.

    If you want to talk about a specific moment, you might need the past perfect: "Me había gustado hablar contigo" (rare). The simple preterite is the usual choice.

↔Alternatives

  • Disfruté hablar contigo.

    I enjoyed talking with you.

  • Me encantó conversar contigo.

    I loved chatting with you.

  • Fue un placer hablar contigo.

    It was a pleasure talking with you.

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking countries, expressing appreciation after a conversation is considered polite and helps strengthen social bonds. The construction gustar + infinitive is very common; avoid using the direct object pronoun (lo, la) here, as gustar always takes an indirect object. If you need a more formal tone, replace "contigo" with "con usted".
