Since the sentence is referring to liking chocolate in general, without specifying any specific chocolates, the singular form "gusta" is used.Rate this question:

Select the correct form of the verb to show the proper usage of the verb gustar in the following sentence: He likes strawberries.
- A.
A Ud. le gustan fresas.
- B.
A él le gustan fresas.
- C.
A ella le gustan fresas.
- D.
A ellos les gustan fresas.
Correct Answer
B. A él le gustan fresas.Explanation
The correct form of the verb gustar in the sentence "He likes strawberries" is "A él le gustan fresas." This is because gustar is a reflexive verb in Spanish and requires an indirect object pronoun to indicate who is being pleased by the subject of the sentence. In this case, "él" (he) is the subject, so the correct pronoun to use is "le." Additionally, since strawberries is a plural noun, the verb gustar should be conjugated in the plural form, "gustan."Rate this question:
