Considering the following option order:
a) gustan encantan
b) gusta encanta
c) encantan gusta
d) encanta gustan
The correct answer is option: c) encantan, gusta.
Step-by-step explanation:
The subject of the three sentences is in the first person plural ("Nosotros"): Us. Then, the verbs like ("gustar") and love ("encantar") also have to be conjugated in third person plural. Both verbs are transitive, which means that they need an indirect object or a personal pronoun (me, te, le, nos, os, les) to make complete sense. In this case, they use the pronoun "nos" as the subject is us.
Now, to get to the correct answer we must consider the agreement of each sentence. First sentence is informative. Second sentence refers to "celebrations" o "las celebraciones" in the agreement, which is plural noun, and therefore the correct verb has to be: "encantan" or "gustan", depending on the verb.
Third sentence refers to "spending time alone" or "pasar el rato solos", which is an infinitive form of the verb to spend, so the conjugation goes in the singular form as the rule marks that the verb goes in singular when expressing likes and loves of an action with a verb in the infinitive form. Then, the correct verb has to be: "encanta" or "gusta", depending on the verb.
Now, option a) gustan, encantan, is not correct because both verbs are conjugated in plural. Option b) gusta encanta, is not correct because both verbs are conjugated in singular. Option d) encanta, gustan is not correct because the first verb has to be in plural, and the second in singular, and it is otherwise. So, the correct answer is Option c) encantan, gusta because the first verb is in plural, and the second singular.
