Questions & Answers about Me gusta compartir la paz con mi familia.
Why do we say Me gusta instead of Yo gusto?
In Spanish, gustar literally means "to be pleasing." Rather than saying Yo gusto ("I please"), Spanish uses an indirect object pronoun—me—to show who is being pleased. So Me gusta translates more directly as "It pleases me."
How do I know whether to use gusta or gustan?
Gusta is used for singular nouns or verbs (like compartir), and gustan is used for plural nouns. In this sentence, you're liking the action compartir (to share), which is treated as a singular concept, so you use me gusta.
Why is la paz used with the definite article la?
In Spanish, abstract nouns like paz (peace) often take a definite article. Saying compartir la paz emphasizes the concept of peace as a whole rather than an unspecified or indefinite sense of peace.
Why do I say con mi familia and not a mi familia?
The preposition con means "with" and is used to show the idea of sharing peace together with your family. If you used a, it would imply directing something towards them, which doesn't fit the sense of mutual sharing in this sentence.
