GUSTAR/ENCANTAR:
 * GUSTAR** means //to like//. The verb //gustar// does not work like other verbs. It must be conjugated based on the thing that is liked or not liked, and it is always preceded by one of the following: ME (for I like), TE (for you like), LE (for he or she likes), NOS (for we like), or LES (for you guys like, for they like). //**In this chapter we will focus on ME GUSTA, TE GUSTA, ME ENCANTA, and TE ENCANTA.**// GUSTAR is never preceded by yo or tú.

To express that someone likes to do something – i.e., “We like to sing & dance,” always conjugate gustar in the él form (gusta) and use the infinitive forms of the other verbs: Nos gusta cantar y bailar. __Several examples follow:__ 1) **I like** to play football. **Me gusta** jugar al fútbol. 2) **You like** to ride a bike. **Te gusta** montar en bicicleta. 3) Do **you like** to dance? ¿**Te gusta** bailar? 4) **I don't like** to go to school. **No** **me gusta** ir a la escuela.

 * ENCANTAR** means to love (used for things, not people) and works just like gustar: I love to ski = Me encanta esquiar / You love to read = Te encanta leer.
