Anchovies disgust me.
Draw a line through the dis- prefix, thus: disgust . Tell them that since the dis- prefix makes the root negative, what would gust mean if it really were an English verb?

As you have probably noticed, a problem may arise when le or les is used with forms of gustar .
Imagine that you had to say something like this in Spanish:She likes to dance and he likes to sing. What do you like to do?
If you sayLe gusta bailar y le gusta cantar. ¿Qué le gusta hacer?the meaning would not be clear. So, for clarity, you say:
A ella le gusta bailar y a él le gusta cantar. ¿Qué le gusta hacer a usted?
To clarify the meaning of le gusta, les gusta, le gustan , or les gustan, use a plus the personal pronoun (él, ella, ellos, ellas, Ud. or Uds .):
A ellos les gusta mirar la televisión .A usted no le gusta trabajar .¿A ella le gustan las rosas?
