Essential Spanish lesson 10: me, te, ?
-
Hi, Carrie. Yes, te is the indirect object pronoun for tú, used in this construction. The one corresponding to usted is le.If you want to see the whole list of pronouns, check out the grammar summary, and look under "Pronouns" (Part 7). The relevant column is indirect object: me, te, le in the singular, and nos, os, les in the plural.You'll come back to the direct and indirect object pronouns in Intermediate, which you're really close to!

I'll let Anna give you the official feedback, but I think I spy some French in there: espagnol! (I do that all the time, Carrie. My fingers are used to going for the g and the n.)Anna, is there a difference between tú me gustas and me gustas tú? If they're both grammatical, is there a difference in what they convey or which situations they're used in? (One neutral, one stressing 'you're the one that I like, as opposed to someone else..." These are usually the types of things conveyed by intonation and moving subjects or objects around.)

This is why we need a "like" button on our forum. Honestly, I rarely type español correctly the first time. It usually comes out espagnol. And una comes out une a little too often, as well.

Hola Mahima!!I also see your French influence in your answers. All the asnwers are correct, and you conjugated gustar correctly and used the right pronouns. Only one hint: in front of Español we use the article el.Me gusta el Español
Me gustas tú.
Me gusta Pedro.
You like Pedro
Te gusta Pedro.
Te gusta el Español.
