Questions & Answers about Me encanta descubrir nuevas canciones en la escuela.
Why do we say Me encanta and not Encanto?
In Spanish, verbs like encantar work similarly to gustar. When you say Me encanta, you’re literally saying "It is enchanting to me," which is why the reflexive pronoun me is used. Saying Encanto would be interpreted as "I enchant," which doesn't convey the intended meaning.
Why is descubrir used in the infinitive form here?
After verbs like gustar or encantar, when you refer to an action you enjoy or love doing, you generally use the infinitive in Spanish (e.g., Me gusta cantar, Me encanta descubrir). The infinitive acts like a noun, expressing the idea of "discovering" without specifying who is doing it beyond the subject implied by me.
Can en la escuela be placed elsewhere in the sentence?
Yes, you can say En la escuela, me encanta descubrir nuevas canciones or Me encanta, en la escuela, descubrir nuevas canciones. However, the most common and natural order is Me encanta descubrir nuevas canciones en la escuela, placing time/place expressions typically at the end of the sentence for clarity.
What is the difference between encantar and gustar?
Both verbs talk about liking something, but encantar expresses a stronger emotion—something closer to "love" or "adore." For example, Me gusta la música means "I like music," while Me encanta la música means "I love music."
