N5 grammar
〜が好き
What you like and what you are good at
Formationnoun + が + 好き / 嫌い / 上手 / ほしい / わかる
A small group of words take が where English would use a plain object: 好き, 嫌い, 上手, 下手, ほしい, わかる. Most of them are adjectives in Japanese rather than verbs, and が marks the thing being described. Learn them as a set and the particle stops feeling arbitrary.
