Answer explanation

Little words, big important concepts.

Me ​ (a)   las fresas.

• gustan
• gusta

Answer explanation

The "an" ending comes from the conjugation of gustar. It's an "ar" verb that works reverse of English.

We say "I like strawberries." "I" am doing the action, which is "to like." "I" am liking something.

In Spanish, the strawberries are doing the action, which is "gust." (making someone like them.) They are "gusting" me. So "las fresas," a plural noun, is the subject of the verb, and it needs to be conjugated in the ellos/ellas form.

Las fresas me gustan. (This makes a little more sense now, right?)

But we usually say "me gustan las fresas." in that order.
