once again gustar!Just when I thought I'd gotten the hang of gustar and verbs like it, along comes: Pues, me ha dicho Lola que le gustas a Ricardo.
So, "me ha dicho Lola que" = "Lola told me that", "gustas" is second person singular as applies to "you" the person being spoken to, no? "le" is the Indirect Object for "to/by him", si? Is the "a" before "Ricardo" the personal "a" or the preposition "to" ? Entonces; "le gustas a Ricardo" = to him you are pleasing (Ricardo) ??
But Ricardo is the subject and I thought it would be "te gusta Ricardo" = Ricardo is pleased by you / you are liked by Ricardo. Does "gustas" refer to Ricardo or to Sonia and to whom would 3ra persona "gusta" apply?
But I'm thinking:
Le gustas a Ricardo = to him you are pleasing (liked) by Ricardo (personal a ?) Ricardo likes you.
whereas: Te gusta Ricardo = By you is liked Ricardo. You like Ricardo.
HELP?? porfis . . .

Voy a hacer mi trabajo de literatura de la forma que yo quiera.
Are there other similar idiomatic expressions or must one use the conventional gramatical constructs? For example:
If you were me... (Tú que yo?)
If I were him... (Yo que él?)
If he were you... (Él que tu?)
etc.
Correct answer: Lo que.
I entered: La cosa que.
I can't understand why la cosa que can't be used in this instance?
Was the Collection of verses published when the poet was 19 or just that one poem? Slightly ambiguous English phrasing . . .
Sorry, I understand my mistake now - please disregard.
You answer 'los doctores PREFIERE but the plural form is PREFIEREN, which is an option
Can you help please
really enjoyable seeing the action described so clearly
It says that the correct answer is "QUERÍAMOS". I don't understand why you don't use "quisimos". We wanted to help and actually did help, so it is a completed action.
Pitting your last two points against each other, should this be "Y email?" or "E email?"
