It may be that if you were to say "me cae bien Javier" it would sound like
you're talking TO Javier about something that you like instead of saying that
Javier IS someone you like.
I'm just guessing on this one.

Subject: [ola] Grammar Question!
Hi all,
So, in my 3/4 class yesterday we were talking about a common speech error and I
couldn't explain the "why" to them other than it sounding correct or incorrect
and I told them I would try to find out...
Here are our two sentences - we began by talking about the difference in saying
"me cae bien" and "me gusta" when talking about someone:
Javier me cae bien.
Me gusta Alma.
They want to know why the person's name comes first in the first example and
second in the second example, grammatically. Any answers out there?
Thanks!
Tess
