This week we looked at how to express hobbies by using affective verbs.
Verbos afectivos - When a sentence has one of these verbs, the object becomes the subject.
Me gusta cantar - I like singing --> Singing is pleasing to me.
encantar - to love
interesar - to be interested in
aburrir - to find boring
Me encanta la música clásica - I love classical music
Te interesa dibujar - You are interested in drawing
Le aburre ver la televisión - Television is boring to him / her
A mí me gusta chatear en las redes sociales - I like to chat on social media
¿A ti te interesa cantar? - Are you interested in singing?
A Lidia le aburre aprender español - Learning Spanish is boring to Lidia
A nosotros nos gusta bailar - We like dancing
¿A vosotros os interesa el arte? - Are you all interested in art?
A ellas les encanta ir de compras - They love going shopping
In pairs, we talked about likes and dislikes using the verbs encantar, aburrir and interesar. Sample answers:
Me encanta el deporte. Practico la natación tres veces por semana pero me aburre ver el golf - I love sports. I swim three times a week but golf is boring to me.
¡Qué dices! El golf es muy divertido. Me gusta mucho. Sin embargo, no me interesa el fútbol - What are you talking about! Golf is fun. I like a lot. However, I am not interested in football.
In the last part of the class, we worked on a listening activity.
