Q

Object pronouns for “Gustar” are me, te & le

A

If you want to add emphasis, or clarify (when using “le” especially) you can add one of these expressions*:

Note: The most common placement for these phrases is before the verb–but NEVER coming between the verb and the Object Pronoun (i.e. A ella le gusta leer; A mi amigo le gusta nadar).

A mi To me
A ti To you
A él To him
A ella To her
A used To you (formal)

A mi amigo/a - To my friend
A mi amigo le gusta bailar. My friend likes to dance.
A mi madre - To my mom
A mi madre le gustan los libros de terror. My mom likes horror books.
A Juan - To Juan
A Juan le gusta cocinar. Juan likes to cook.
