Cultural Tip

The verb gustar works opposite to most English verbs: the thing that is liked is the grammatical subject, so the verb must match its number. Placing 'también' before the verb (También me gustan…) adds a slight emphasis, while moving it after the pronoun (Me gustan también…) is also correct but a bit more informal. In casual conversation Spaniards often drop the article and say 'Me gustan comedias', but the full form with 'las' is the standard, especially in writing.
