Positive: (1st person) Talking about yourself (3rd person) Talking about another person Me gusta = I like (singular) le gusta = he/she likes (singular) Me gustan = I like (plural) le gustan = he / she likes (plural) Me encanta = I love (singular) le encanta = he / she likes (singular) Me encantan = I love (plural) le encantan he / she likes (plural) Prefiero = I prefer (its my favourite) Prefiere = he / she prefers (its his/her favourite thing) Mucho = A lot Un poco = A little bit Negative: No le gusta = he / She doesn t like (singular) No le gustan = he / she doesn t like (plural) odia / detesta = he / she hates No me gusta = I don t like (singular) No me gustan = I don t like (plural) Odio / Detesto = I hate Definite Articles: A definite article is the word for the . In Spanish, when you say you like something, you need to include the definite article before the noun (the thing you like). For example: Me gusta el futbol = I like (the) football. The definite article will change depending on whether the noun (the thing you like) is masculine or feminine and if there is one or more than one of them. You can find out if a noun is masculine or feminine by finding it in a dictionary. There will be a (m) next to it if it s masculine, or a (f) next to it if it s feminine. Here are the definite articles in Spanish: Masculine: El (singluar) los (plural) Feminine: la (singular) las (plural) Using the information given to you above. Translate the following sentences into Spanish (you may use a dictionary): Example: I like chocolate (masculine,singular) = me gustael chocolate I like cats (masculine, plural) = me gustanlos gatos 1. I love Spanish* (masculine, singular) 2. I don t like pigs* (masculine, plural) 3. I prefer geography* (feminine, singular) 4. I hate fruit* (feminine, singular) 5.

OPINIONS (2) You have been given this task to do because you have made mistakes when using opinions in your Spanish assessment. Read the information below and then complete the task in PURPLE PEN. Giving a reason why. In Spanish, the word for because is porque . You will almost always follow this with either es (it is) or son (they are). For example: Me gustan los gatos porque son adorables = I like cats because they are cute. The word for cute is an adjective (a describing word). When using adjectives, you need to make sure their endings are correct. Their endings will depend upon the gender and amount of the noun (the thing) they are describing. In my example sentence, los gatos was masculine plural. This means that adorable needed to end in es (the masculine plural ending for adjectives ending in the letter e ). Look at the chart below for more details. Singular Bajo (short) Masculine: Plural If the adjective ends in the letter o it changes like this: Bajos Singular Feminine: Plural Baja Bajas Trabajador (hard-working) If the adjective ends in the letters or it changes like this: trabajadores trabajadora trabajadoras Interesante (interesting) If the adjective ends in the letter e it changes like this: interesantes interesante interesantes Using the information given to you above.
