This is one of the many cases in which you are translating an IDEA, and not looking for a WORD TO WORD correspondence.

I am 20 years old and I am hungry. Tengo 20 aos y tengo hambre. Big difference between ao and ano tener sedto be thirsty tener sueoto be sleepy

tener ganas deto feel like doing something

tener raznto be right

This is another verb where a word to word translation wont work.

Gustar literally means to be pleasing to someone, not X likes

Because what you like is actually DOING the action, and you [or whomever is doing the liking] is RECEIVING the action, the verb agrees with what is liked, and the person doing the liking is expressed by an Indirect Object Pronoun. A what?

meto/by me teto/by you

nosto/by us

leto/by him, her, Ud.

lesto by them, youse

Me gustan los animales. Literally, Animals are liked by me. I like animals

I dont like the house. [The house doesnt please me.] No me gusta la casa. Spanish word order is more flexible than English. So if its easier to remember and understand, you can say: Los animales me gustan. La casa no me gusta.

NOTA BENE:

animalespluralgustan;
la casasingular--gusta

The verb agrees with whatever is being liked. The verb ends with an o, so its the YO form.

The Indirect Object Pronoun agrees with whomever is doing the liking. Meby me.

SoME GUSTO==I like myself, I am pleasing to myself.

If thats what you mean, fine. If not, AVOID IT!

Spanish takes the long way aroundThis is the house of the cousins of my parents.

There are several ways of forming the future in Spanish. This form deals with the near future.

IR + A + INFINITIVE of the action that is going to take place.

Qu vas a hacer maana por la noche? What are you going to do tomorrow night?

Voy a insert infinitive here. hablar con amigos visitar a mi familia. mirar una pelcula dormir muchos escuchar msica While the verb HACER is in the question, most likely it wont be in the answer [the same holds true in English]. What are you going TO DO? [Unless youre going to do homework, chores, etc.]

These are actions that the subject of the sentence does to him or herselfboth performs and receives the effects of an action. They are more common in Spanish than in English because we tend to leave the myself, himself, etc. out. Reflexive verbs use a reflexive pronoun. This is found at the end of the infinitive if you look in the dictionary [levantarse] and they are placed in front of conjugated verbs.

memyself teyourself sehimself herself yourself

nosourselves

sethemselves yourselves

Reflexive verbs often have to do with daily actions, routinesyou wake yourself up, get yourself out of bed, give yourself a shower, dress yourself, etc. Me visto informal para las clases. I dress [myself] informally for classes. Ella se levanta a las 7:00. She gets [herself] up at 7:00. Cmo se llaman tus amigos? Literally, What do your friends call themselves?
