As you have probably noticed, a problem may arise whenle
or les is used with forms of gustar .
Imagine that you had to say something like this in Spanish:
She likes to dance and he likes to sing. What do you like to
do?
If you say
Le gusta bailar y le gusta cantar. ¿Qué le gusta hacer?
the meaning would not be clear. So, for clarity, you say:
A ella le gusta bailar y a él le gusta cantar. ¿Qué le gusta
hacer a usted?
To clarify the meaning ofle gusta, les gusta, le gustan , or les
gustan, use a plus the personal pronoun (él, ella, ellos, ellas,
Ud. or Uds .):
A ellos les gusta mirar la televisión .
A usted no le gusta trabajar .
¿A ella le gustan las rosas?
