Questions & Answers about No nos gustan las series de terror.
Why is the verb gustan instead of gustamos if the translation is "We don't like"?
In Spanish, verbs like gustar work backward compared to English. The sentence literally means "Horror series are not pleasing to us." Because the horror series (las series de terror) are doing the pleasing, they are the plural subject, so we use the plural verb gustan. The word nos simply means "to us."
Why do we need las before series when the English translation just says "horror series"?
When you talk about things you like or dislike in a general sense, Spanish requires a definite article (el, la, los, or las). Since you are talking about horror series in general, you must include las.
Does no always go before the pronoun nos?
Is the word series both singular and plural in Spanish, just like in English?
Not quite. In Spanish, the singular form is la serie and the plural is las series. It looks similar to English, but it follows the normal Spanish rule of adding an -s to a word ending in a vowel to make it plural.
