In Spanish, there are affective verbs, like "gustar", where the grammatical subject, which often goes after the verb, represents a thing or a passive person, while the indirect object is the true logical subject of the phrase. It is not a subject or active agent, but an experimenter who talks about his emotions, ideas, interests or preferences. The affective verb always agrees with the grammatical subject (las enchiladas, los deportes). When the subject is a noun, he always has an article. The subject can also be an infinitive or a relative phrase, then the affective verb is conjugated in the singular (practicar, estudiar, cantar).
