In this section, you are asked to write a statement about which activity each subject enjoys more, based on their personality. The example reads, “Raul is very active (skate/watch television). He likes to skate more.”
The first statement reads, “Diego is lazy. (exercise/watch television)”.

We know the subject of our sentence will be the subject of the given sentence, which is “Diego”. This means in our sentence, we will use the *él* form of *gustar*, *le gusta*. Remember that when an infinite follows *gustar*, you will always use the singular *gusta*, not *gustan*.

Since Diego is lazy, the option that he probably enjoys more is watching television. This option makes use of the infinitive *ver*. As per the example, you will insert *más* between the form of *gustar* and the infinitive to illustrate that he **prefers** said option.

Le gusta más ver television.

In this section, you are asked to write a statement about which activity each subject enjoys more, based on their personality. The example reads, “Raul is very active (skate/watch television). He likes to skate more.”
The second statement reads, “my friends are athletic (swim and run/rent videos)”.

The subjects of our sentence will be “my friends”, so we will use the plural “they” form of *gustar*, *les gusta*, to agree.
Since we will be using the infinitive in our answer, we can only use the singular *gusta*.

Using *más*, we can say what activity the subject **prefers**. Since our subjects (“my friends”) are athletic, it makes sense that they would prefer running and swimming to renting videos. Notice that both *nadar* and *correr* are the infinitive forms of the verbs.

Les gusta mas nadar y correr

In this section, you are asked to write a statement about which activity each subject enjoys more, based on their personality. The example reads, “Raul is very active (skate/watch television). He likes to skate more.”
The third statement reads, “Elena is hardworking. (doing homework/listening to music).”

The subject of our sentence will be Elena, or said another way, “she”. This means *gustar* will be in its “*él/ella/usted*” form, *”le gusta*”. You know by now that when saying what someone likes **to do**, you will follow *gustar* with an infinitive. Because of this, you will never use the plural *gustan*.

Using *más* after *gustar*, you can say what activity someone **prefers**. Since Elena is described as hardworking, doing homework makes more sense compared to listening to music.

Le gusta más hacer la tarea.

In this section, you are asked to write a statement about which activity each subject enjoys more, based on their personality. The example reads, “Raul is very active (skate/watch television). He likes to skate more.”
The fourth statement reads, “Mario is timid. (to go to parties/ to spend time alone)”.

Since our subject is Mario (“he”), we will use the “*él/ella/usted*” form of *gustar*, *le gusta*. Since we need to say which activity Mario prefers more, we will follow *le gusta* with *más*.

Parties seem like a bad option for someone who is described as being timid. They would be much more likely to enjoy spending time alone. Our best option is “to spend time alone”. Note that *pasar* is an infinitive, so you will use the singular *gusta*.

Le gusta más pasar el rato solo.

In this section, you are asked to write a statement about which activity each subject enjoys more, based on their personality. The example reads, “Raul is very active (skate/watch television). He likes to skate more.”
The fifth statement reads, “Lili is romantic. (to read romance novels/ to read horror novels).”

Our subject is Lili, or in other words, “she”. This necessitates the use of the “he/she/you (formal)” form of *gusta*, *le gusta*. Since we’re talking about preferences in this exercise, we will need to follow *le gusta* with *más* to show what Lili **prefers**.

Lili’s preference between romance novels and horror novels should be pretty obvious. She will of course prefer a juicy romance novel. Since we’re using the infinitive “*leer*” ( “to read”), we will have to use the singular *gusta*, as you learned on page 86.

Le gusta más leer novelas de amor.

In this section, you are asked to write a statement about which activity each subject enjoys more, based on their personality. The example reads, “Raul is very active (skate/watch television). He likes to skate more.”
The sixth statement reads, “I am very serious. (to do homework/to go to parties).”

We know that *soy* means “I am” from phrases like “*soy atlético*”. This clues us in that the subject is “I”, which means you will use the “I” form of *gustar*, *me gusta* (“I like”).

We can follow *me gusta* with *más* to show that the subject **prefers** one thing over something else. Since our subject is described as being serious, it seems like they wouldn’t enjoy parties very much. They would probably prefer to stay home and do their homework. Since *hacer* is an infinitive, the preceding *me gusta* can only be in the singular form.

Me gusta más hacer la tarea.

In this section, you are asked to write a statement about which activity each subject enjoys more, based on their personality. The example reads, “Raul is very active (skate/watch television). He likes to skate more.”
The seventh and final statement reads, “you are very extroverted. (go out with friends/pass the time alone).”

We know that *eres* is in the *tú* form from questions like *”¿Cómo eres?”* (“what are you like?”). This means our subject is *tú* (“you”). Since our form of “*gustar”* needs to match, we will use *te gusta*.

Following *te gusta* with *más*, we can say what the subject’s preference is between multiple options. Since the subject is described as being extroverted, they would probably prefer going out with friends over being alone. Note that *salir* is an infinitive, so you must use the singular *gusta* in your answer.

Te gusta más salir con amigos.
