Exercise 1
Step 1
1 of 4
In this question, you are to find out if your partner likes the various nouns. The example reads:
“Do you like videogames?”
“Yes, I like them. They are pretty fun.”
Our first noun is *videojuegos*.
Step 2
2 of 4
As you can see in the example, *te gustan* is how we will ask our partner if they like things. You’ll also note that all these nouns are written in the plural form. Remember to lilt your voice up at the end of sentences to indicate questions.
Step 3
3 of 4
You can choose to respond affirmatively or negatively. Recall from page 52 that to respond negatively you need to use *no* twice: once to say “no”, and the other to mean “not”, as in “I do not like this”.
Step 4
4 of 4
As per the model, you are to follow your response with a sentence describing why you do or don’t like the noun. You can use words like *divertidos, horrible* or *aburridos*. Pick words from our chapter vocabulary, just make sure to write them in their plural form to match the noun.
Exercise 2
Step 1
1 of 4
In this question, you are to find out if your partner likes the various nouns. The example reads:
“Do you like videogames?”
“Yes, I like them. They are pretty fun.”
Our second noun is *los libros de amor*.
Step 2
2 of 4
As you can see from the example, *te gustan* is the phrase we will use to ask our partner if they like various things. Remember to pitch your voice up at the end to indicate the presence of question marks.
Step 3
3 of 4
You can choose to respond affirmatively or negatively. Recall from page 52 that to respond negatively you must use *no* twice: once to say “no”, again to mean “not”, the “no” that will actually act to negate the phrase “I like”.
Step 4
4 of 4
As per the model, you are to follow your response with a sentence describing why you do or don’t like the noun in question. You can use any adjective and qualifier (very, not very, pretty, etc.) we learned in this chapter, just make sure to write it in its plural form to match the plurality of the noun.
Exercise 3
Step 1
1 of 4
In this question, you are to find out if your partner likes the various nouns. The example reads:
“Do you like videogames?”
“Yes, I like them. They are pretty fun.”
Our third noun is *los animales*.
Step 2
2 of 4
To construct your question, you will use *te gustan* followed by the noun, as written (*los animales*). Raising the pitch of your voice at the end will make it clear you’re asking a question and not making a statement.
Step 3
3 of 4
You may choose to respond affirmatively or negatively when asked this question by your partner. Regardless, make sure you use *me gustan* when responding, prefaced by either *sí,* or *no, no…*.
Step 4
4 of 4
Following your response, you should say a sentence explaining why you do or do not like *los animales*. Using adjectives from this chapter, put them in their plural form (and, depending on the word, their correct gendered form) and preface it with *son*. For example:

About *los animales*: *Son muy simpáticos*.

Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 4
In this question, you are to find out if your partner likes the various nouns. The example reads:
“Do you like videogames?”
“Yes, I like them. They are pretty fun.”
Our fourth noun is *los deportes*.
Step 2
2 of 4
Once again, we will be using *te gustan* to mean “do you like” when we question our partner. Following that, we will write our noun as it is given to us (*los deportes*).
Step 3
3 of 4
When you’re responding to these questions, you can respond affirmatively or negatively. The words indicting these responses (*sí* or *no, no…*) will be placed at the beginning of the sentence, followed by *me gustan*. The reason *los deportes* is not needed in the response is because it’s already been clearly established what we are speaking about.
Step 4
4 of 4
Finally, you can use adjectives from this chapter to say why you do or do not like sports. What adjective you use is up to you, just make sure it is in the plural form to match the noun.
Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 4
In this question, you are to find out if your partner likes the various nouns. The example reads:
“Do you like videogames?”
“Yes, I like them. They are pretty fun.”
Our fifth noun is *las películas de aventuras*.
Step 2
2 of 4
Using *te gustan* followed by the noun, you will ask your partner if they like adventure films. Remember to raise the pitch of your voice at the end to ensure they understand that you are asking a question and not just making a statement.
Step 3
3 of 4
When asked yourself, you may choose to respond in the affirmative or the negative. Remember if you respond negatively, you must include two *no*’s at the beginning of your response: The first to mean “no” and the second to mean “not”, to negate the sentence “I like”.
Step 4
4 of 4
Finally, provide a sentence to explain your answer. Like in the model, you will use *son* followed by your adjective (and possibly a qualifier like “very” or “pretty”). Make sure your adjective agrees with the noun (*las películas de aventuras* in both gender and number.
Exercise 6
Step 1
1 of 4
In this question, you are to find out if your partner likes the various nouns. The example reads:
“Do you like videogames?”
“Yes, I like them. They are pretty fun.”
Our final noun is *las fiestas*.
Step 2
2 of 4
Using *te gustan* followed by our noun (in this case, “parties”), we can ask our partner if they like parties. We know our noun is in the plural form due to the “-s” at the end.
Step 3
3 of 4
When asked, you may respond affirmatively or negatively using *sí* or *no, no…* followed by *me gustan*. The noun is dropped from the response since we already know what the object that we are talking about is.
Step 4
4 of 4
Finally, add a sentence to explain why you do or do not like parties. This response can be whatever you want as long as you include an adjective that you learned in this chapter, and precede it with *son*, since our object is plural.
