This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using gustar in Spanish to say you like something"

Hola Lavender L.
The reason we say “te gusta” or “te gustan” depends on what you like, specifically, if the thing you like is singular or plural. The verb “gustar” doesn’t change based on the person (you), but on the thing being liked.
Use “te gusta” when the thing you like is singular, or if it’s an action (like an activity or verb).
For example:
Te gusta el chocolate. (You like chocolate.)
Te gusta bailar. (You like dancing.)
Use “te gustan” when the thing you like is plural — more than one item:
Te gustan los gatos. (You like cats.)
Te gustan las películas de terror. (You like horror movies.)
So, the -n at the end of “gustan” matches the plural noun, not “you”.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you'd like more examples 😊
Saludos
Silvia
