Step 2
2 of 3
We learned from the last exercise that we use *me gusta* when talking about things we like. We can follow it with any activity that we enjoy doing. You could use any of the vocabulary from page 82, or any of the activities on page 83 that follow *jugar* (“to play”).
Step 3
3 of 3
For example, you might say *”me gusta jugar al volibol*” (from page 82), or “*me gusta correr*” (from page 82).

Exercise 3

In this section you are asked to complete the sentences based on your own feelings of what you like and dislike. Since these answers will be subjective, here you will be provided some tips on how to answer the questions correctly. The third phrase reads, “I like to go out with…”
Step 2
2 of 2
You learned this phrase at the bottom of page 83, in the green vocabulary box. To complete the sentence, think of who you like to go out and do things with. Some good options for the answer might be *mis amigos* or *mis compañeros de clase*.
Exercise 4
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section you are asked to complete the sentences based on your own feelings of what you like and dislike. Since these answers will be subjective, here you will be provided some tips on how to answer the questions correctly. The fourth phrase reads, “I like to go to the movies with…”
Step 2
2 of 3
You learned the phrase *ir al cine* at the bottom of page 82. To complete the sentence, think about who you like to go to the movie theater with. If you need a refresher on some options to put after *con*, look at the box labeled *mas vocabulario* on page 83.
Step 3
3 of 3
For example, you might finish the phrase with *mi familia*, a phrase from page 83.
Exercise 5
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section you are asked to complete the sentences based on your own feelings of what you like and dislike. Since these answers will be subjective, here you will be provided some tips on how to answer the questions correctly. The fifth phrase reads, “my best friend likes…”
Step 2
2 of 3
Notice that in this question, you are no longer talking about what you like, but rather what your best friend likes. Because if this, *a* has been included before the subject, *mi mejor amigo(a)*.
Step 3
3 of 3
Depending on if your best friend is male or female, you will use *amigo* or *amiga*. But the gender of *amigo(a)* doesn’t change anything about how you will complete the sentence. For example, if you were to finish the sentence using *…jugar al fútbol americano*, you wouldn’t have to change anything about the sentence based on the gender of your subject.
Exercise 6
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section you are asked to complete the sentences based on your own feelings of what you like and dislike. Since these answers will be subjective, here you will be provided some tips on how to answer the questions correctly. The sixth phrase reads, “my family and I like…”
Step 2
2 of 3
To complete this sentence, think about what you and your family enjoy doing together. You’ll notice that since the subject is *mi familia y a mí*, we’ve switched to using *nos gusta*, the *nosotros* (“we”) form of *gustar*. This won’t change how you complete the sentence, it’s just something to notice.
Step 3
3 of 3
For example, if you and your family enjoy playing board games together, you might say “*a mi familia y a mí nos gusta jugar a juegos de mesa*”. Don’t forget to include the *”a*” before *mi familia* and *mí*.
Exercise 7
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section you are asked to complete the sentences based on your own feelings of what you like and dislike. Since these answers will be subjective, here you will be provided some tips on how to answer the questions correctly. The seventh phrase reads, “my friends like…”
Step 2
2 of 3
You’ll notice that this is another instance in which you will have to remember to place *”a*” before the subject (*mis amigos*). You’ll also notice that, since our subject is *mis amigos*, we are using the *ellos* form of *gustar*, *les gusta*.
Step 3
3 of 3
Think about the things that your friends enjoy doing, then use that phrase to complete the sentence. For example, if your friends enjoy listening to music, you would follow the given “*a mis amigos les gusta…*” with “*escuchar música*”.
Exercise 8
Step 1
1 of 3
In this section you are asked to complete the sentences based on your own feelings of what you like and dislike. Since these answers will be subjective, here you will be provided some tips on how to answer the questions correctly. The eighth and final phrase reads, “my friends and I like…”
Step 2
2 of 3
Since the subject of this sentence is “my friends and I”, we will be using the *nosotros* (“we”) form of *gustar*, *nos gusta*. Notice how, with these “action words/phrases”, you will always be using the singular *gusta* when talking about things that people like to do.
Step 3
3 of 3
Think of things that you and your friends like to do together, and use that “action phrase” to complete the sentence. For example, if you and your friends are on a basketball team together, you might complete the sentence with “*…jugar al básquetbol*”.
