On your first day of school in Spain, your new professor wants everyone to explain in Spanish what they like best about living or traveling in Spain. You sit at the back of the classroom praying the class will end before they get to you because you have no idea how to talk about what you “like” in Spanish. However, that is why you are here! As you sit, you listen to other classmates from around the world explain in Spanish that they “like the bulls in Pamplona” the best. Another girl states in Spanish that she “likes the Spanish restaurants the best.” However, all of the people talking about what they like in Spanish seem to be using different words and different forms of the words.
