Questions & Answers about ¿Te gustan los cuentos o las películas?
Why does this sentence use gustan with an "n" instead of gusta?
Why does it start with Te instead of Tú?
Because gustar works differently than "to like" in English, you don't use the subject pronoun tú (you). Instead, you use the object pronoun te (to you). The sentence is literally asking "Are stories or movies pleasing to you?".
Why are the words los and las included? The English translation doesn't say "the stories or the movies".
In Spanish, when you talk about things in a general sense—like talking about all stories or all movies—you must include the definite article (el, la, los, or las). English drops the word "the" when talking generally, but Spanish always requires it!
If I asked about two singular things instead, like "the story or the movie", would I still use gustan?
