💡 Grammar Points
The 'Backwards' Verb
In Spanish, the verb gustar means 'to be pleasing to.' The thing that is liked acts as the main subject, which is why we use 'gustará' (singular) when you will like one thing, or 'gustarán' (plural) if you will like many things.
The Future Tense
The 'ará' ending tells us this action hasn't happened yet—it will happen later. It expresses a future prediction or certainty about someone's enjoyment.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Confusing the Person
Mistake: "Yo gustará el libro. (I will like the book.)"
Correction: A mí me gustará el libro. ('The book will be pleasing to me.') Remember the verb form ('gustará') matches the book (singular thing), not the person liking it (I).
⭐ Usage Tips
Always Use the Indirect Object Pronoun
You must include the little word (like me, te, le, nos, etc.) before the verb to show who is doing the liking: Le gustará (He/She will like it).
