Explanation:

In this exercise, you have to complete the sentences with the appropriate conjugation of the verbs gustar and encantar. Verbs in Spanish must agree with their respective subject in number (singular or plural) and person (1st, 2nd or 3rd). The verbs "gustar" and "encantar" are special verbs, because identifying the subject may be confusing. With gustar and verbs like it, the subject of the sentence is the thing being liked, while the thing doing the liking is expressed via an indirect object, as in these sentences:

-A ti te encanta la leche. In this sentence, la leche (milk) is the subject, so encantar is conjugated in the third person singular to match the singular word leche.   The indirect object te is used to show to whom the milk is pleasing (in this case to you or a ti).

-A ella no le encantan los jugos.  In this sentence, los jugos (juices) is the subject, so encantar is conjugated in the third person plural to match the plural word jugos.   The indirect object le is used to show to whom the juices are pleasing (in this case to her or a ella).

-A ti te gustan las uvas.   In this sentence, las uvas (grapes) is the subject, so gustar is conjugated in the third person plural to match the plural word uvas.   The indirect object te is used to show to whom the grapes are pleasing (in this case to you or a ti).

-A Manolo le gusta comer las papas y el queso.  In this sentence, comer las papas y el queso (to eat potatoes and cheese) is a singular subject whose head is "comer", so gustar is conjugated in the third person singular to match the singular subject comer las papas y el queso.   The indirect object le is used to show to whom this action is pleasing (in this case to Manolo).
