Verb
"Gustar" better avoided ► While gustar is one of the main ways of translating like, its use is not always appropriate. Used to refer to people, it may imply sexual attraction. Instead, use expressions like caer bien or parecer/ resultar simpático/ agradable. These expressions work like gustar and need an indirect object:
I like Francis very much Francis me cae muy bien or me parece muy simpático or agradable
She likes me, but that's all (A ella) le caigo bien, pero nada más
Like + verb ► Translate to like doing sth and to like to do sth using gustar + ((infinitive)):
Doctors don't like having to go out to visit patients at night A los médicos no les gusta tener que salir a visitar pacientes por la noche
My brother likes to rest after lunch A mi hermano le gusta descansar después de comer ► Translate to like sb doing sth and to like sb to do sth using gustar + que + ((subjunctive)):
My wife likes me to do the shopping A mi mujer le gusta que haga la compra
I don't like Irene living so far away No me gusta que Irene viva tan lejos
"How do you like...?" ► Use qué + parecer to translate how do/ did you like when asking someone's opinion:
How do you like this coat? ¿Qué te parece este abrigo?
How did you like the concert? ¿Qué te ha parecido el concierto? ► But use cómo + gustar when using how do you like more literally:
How do you like your steak? ¿Cómo le gusta la carne?
Would like ► When translating would like, use querer with requests and offers and gustar to talk about preferences and wishes:
Would you like a glass of water? ¿Quiere un vaso de agua?
What would you like me to do about the tickets? ¿Qué quieres que haga respecto a los billetes?
I'd very much like to go to Spain this summer Me gustaría mucho ir a España este verano Literal translations of I'd like are better avoided when making requests in shops and restaurants. Use expressions like the following:
I'd like steak and chips ¿Me pone un filete con patatas fritas?, (Yo) quiero un filete con patatas fritas For further uses and examples, see main entry

YOU When translating you, even though you often need not use the pronoun itself, you will have to choose between using familiar tú/vosotros verb forms and the polite usted/ ustedes ones. ► In Spain, use tú and the plural vosotros/ vosotras with anyone you call by their first name, with children and younger adults. Use usted/ ustedes with people who are older than you, those in authority and in formal contexts. ► In Latin America usage varies depending on the country and in some places only the usted forms are used. Where the tú form does exist, only use it with people you know very well. In other areas vos, used with verb forms that are similar to the vosotros ones, often replaces tú. This is standard in Argentina and certain Central American countries while in other countries it is considered substandard. Use ustedes for all cases of you in the plural.

USAGE:

(1.) Русское местоимение "это" многозначно и эквивалентно как указательному местоимению this, так и личному и безличному it. Предложения This is a table и It is a table одинаково эквивалентны русскому сочетанию Это стол, но употребляются в разных ситуациях. This предполагает непосредственное указание на предмет, о котором идет речь в разговоре, поэтому оно не употребляется в предложениях в прошедшем времени, а заменяется в этих случаях на that. It не предполагает непосредственного указания на предмет, является отсылкой к уже упомянутому и может употребляться во всех временах: It was a table. Это был стол. What is this? - It is a book. Что это? - Это книга. (2.) Русское "этой ночью" может относиться как к прошедшему, так и к будущему (я не спал этой/сегодня ночью; он придет сегодня/этой ночью). В английском языке this night относится только к будущему; в значении прошедшего времени употребляется last night: I did not sleep well last night. Я сегодня ночью плохо спал. This is going to be critical for the patient. Эта ночь будет кризисной для пациента. (3.) This употребляется в ситуации представления кого-либо кому-либо в прямой речи: This is John. Знакомьтесь, это Джон. В этой же ситуации употребляется глагол to meet: I'd like you to meet my eldest brother Tom. Я хочу познакомить вас с моим старшим братом Томом. /Я хочу представить вам моего старшего брата Тома. (4.) Русскому это в телефонном клише "Это кто? Это Том? " соответствуют английские this и that. Говорящий по телефону, о себе говорит this: This is Tom. О собеседнике на другом конце провода говорят that: Who is that? Кто это звонит? Is that the the Univercity Library? Это университетская библиотека? Harry, is that you? гарри, это ты? Is that the Metropole Hotel? - No, this is a bank. Это отель Метрополь? - Нет, это банк. (5.) See that, prn; USAGE (1.). (6.)
