✕Common Mistakes

  • ¿Te gustan este tipo de evento?

    ‘Gustan’ is used when the liked thing is plural; here ‘evento’ is singular, so the correct form is ‘gusta’.

  • ¿Gusta te este tipo de evento?

    The pronoun must come before the verb; placing it after ‘gusta’ is incorrect.

  • ¿Te gusta ese tipo de evento?

    If the event is far from the speaker, use ‘ese’ (that) or ‘aquel’ (that over there).

Cultural Tip

In most Spanish‑speaking countries, ‘gustar’ is the go‑to verb for expressing likes and dislikes, but remember that the verb always agrees with the thing liked, not the person. In formal contexts you might hear ‘¿Le gusta…?’ using the formal ‘le’ instead of ‘te’. Also, the word ‘evento’ is widely used in Latin America, while in Spain people sometimes prefer ‘acto’ or ‘espectáculo’ depending on the context.
