For this reason, the verb (gustar) must correspond to the subject in number: as you can see, the Spanish verb gustar ONLY changes its form (gusta / gustan) according to the number (singular / plural) of the objects loved and NOT according to the pronoun (me / nos). For this reason, we use gusta for the singular and gustan for the plural. Do you know what is the difference between me gusta and gusto in Spanish? Where does me gusta mean in Spanish?
