Questions & Answers about ¿Te gustan las galletas con leche?
Why is it gustan with an 'n' at the end instead of just gusta?
Why do we need the word las before galletas? In English, we just say 'cookies'.
In Spanish, when you talk about liking things in a general sense, you must include the definite article (el, la, los, or las). So instead of just saying 'cookies', Spanish requires you to say 'the cookies' (las galletas).
What exactly does the word te mean here?
Since we added las to cookies, why don't we add la before leche?
When talking about a general category of things you like as the main subject (like the cookies doing the pleasing), you need the article. But con leche just describes how you eat the cookies. Here, 'milk' acts exactly like it does in English: an unspecified amount, so no article is needed.
