Questions & Answers about No me gustan los platos de plástico.
Why is it gustan instead of gusta here?
Why do we need the word los before platos? In English we just say 'plastic plates'.
In Spanish, when you talk about liking or disliking things in a general sense, you must include the definite article (el, la, los, or las). So, you have to say los platos.
Why does it say platos de plástico instead of plásticos platos?
Spanish doesn't usually put nouns next to each other to describe things like English does. Instead of saying 'plastic plates', you say 'plates of plastic' using the preposition de to connect the object and its material. Also, these descriptive phrases come after the noun they describe.
Does the word plástico change to match plural or feminine nouns?
