Gustar-type Verbs
What are Gustar-type Verbs?
Gustar-type verbs in Spanish work differently than in English. Instead of saying "I like something," Spanish says "Something pleases me." These verbs include gustar (to like), encantar (to love), interesar (to interest), and others. They require indirect object pronouns to indicate who experiences the feeling.
