Spanish commonly uses gustar to express likes. Pay attention to the person who likes and the thing liked.
The idea
Use me for the speaker, te for the person addressed as tú, le for a third person or usted, and nos for us. Use gusta with a singular thing or an infinitive: me gusta cocinar. Use gustan with plural things: me gustan los gatos.
Examples
- Me gusta el té.I like tea.
- Me gustan los gatos.I like cats.
- ¿Te gusta cocinar?Do you like cooking?
- A Ana le gusta la música.Ana likes music.
- Nos gustan estos parques.We like these parks.
- No me gusta el café.I do not like coffee.

Watch out
The verb agrees with what is liked, not the person who likes it. Le can refer to different people; a Ana makes the reference clear.
