12. GUSTA vs GUSTAN
Remember: We use “gusta” with singular nouns and with infinitive verbs.
We use “gustan” with plural nouns.
¡OJO! Careful, if it is followed by an infinitive verb, it does not matter if a plural noun comes AFTER that, it’s still “gusta”.
Ejemplo: Me gusta practicar deportes.

13. Being Negative
When we make a sentence with “gusta(n)” negative, the word “no” comes BEFORE the indirect object pronoun (me, te, le, etc) but AFTER the indirect object (if there is one).
Ejemplo: A mí no me gusta.
