Questions & Answers about Me gusta esta canción porque ella canta perfectamente.
How is perfectamente formed from the adjective?
To make an adverb ending in -mente (which is like "-ly" in English), you start with the feminine form of the adjective. The adjective for "perfect" is perfecto, so we use the feminine perfecta and add -mente, giving us perfectamente.
Why is it esta canción and not este canción?
Nouns that end in -ción, like canción, are almost always feminine in Spanish. Because it is feminine and singular, we use the feminine word for "this", which is esta.
Why do we use Me gusta instead of a "yo" form for "I like"?
