    Thanks great video, I didn't know about using Gusta for 2+ verbs in the infinitive and hadn't noticed the possible confusion with gustas, it seems so appropriate for it to refer to the Tu conjugation and not singular or plural use, so you have cleared that up for me. Asi' que muchas gracias Steve

    It seems like verbs such as gustar or encantar are what we would call passive voice in english. “You are liked by me”. the object performs the action upon the subject.
