Common mistakes with disgustarse
The errors learners actually make with disgustarse, each with the wrong form, the right form, and why it is wrong.
Mistake 1: Forgetting the reflexive pronoun
- Wrong: Yo disgusto con su hermano por la broma.
- Right: Yo me disgusto con su hermano por la broma.
- Why: disgustarse is reflexive, so the pronoun is part of the verb: Yo me disgusto con su hermano por la broma.. Without me the sentence is incomplete, and it sounds as if the action happens to someone else.
Mistake 2: Dropping the accent on the vosotros form
- Wrong: Vosotros os disgustais con su hermano por la broma.
- Right: Vosotros os disgustáis con su hermano por la broma.
- Why: The vosotros form disgustáis carries a written accent. Without it the word is misspelled, and in writing the accent is part of the form.
Mistake 3: Using the present tense for yesterday
- Wrong: Ayer, yo me disgusto por la comida fría.
- Right: Ayer, yo me disgusté por la comida fría.
- Why: Ayer means yesterday, so the action is finished and needs the preterite. The present tense is for habits and routines, not for yesterday: Ayer, yo me disgusté por la comida fría. — "Yesterday, I got upset over the cold food."
Mistake 4: Mixing up the gerund and the participle
- Wrong: Me estoy disgustado con su amiga por el retraso.
- Right: Me estoy disgustando con su amiga por el retraso.
- Why: After estar you need the gerund disgustando for the progressive. The participle disgustado goes with haber in the perfect tenses (me he disgustado), never after estar.
Mistake 5: Using the él form for nosotros
- Wrong: Nosotros nos disgusta con su hermano por la broma.
- Right: Nosotros nos disgustamos con su hermano por la broma.
- Why: The person and the ending must match: nosotros takes disgustamos, while disgusta belongs to él and ella. Check the person first, then choose the form.

What does disgustarse mean, and when do I use it?

How do you say it in a real sentence?
A natural sentence is: Yo me disgusto con su hermano por la broma. — "I get upset with his brother over the joke." Change the person using the table above, and change the complement to talk about your own life: the verb stays the same, only the ending changes.
Is disgustarse reflexive?
Yes. disgustarse is reflexive, so it always travels with a pronoun: me, te, se, nos, os, se. Yo me disgusto con su hermano por la broma. — "I get upset with his brother over the joke." If you drop the pronoun, the sentence is incomplete. The pronoun goes before the conjugated verb, and it attaches to the end of the gerund and of affirmative imperatives.
When do I use the present tense instead of the preterite with disgustarse?
Use the present for habits and routines: Yo me disgusto con su hermano por la broma. — "I get upset with his brother over the joke."

If the action happens regularly, choose the present; if it happened once and is finished, choose the preterite.
