Hopefully that refreshed your memory and provided you with some comic relief. The verb gustar is conjugated differently than other verbs you know because when you say "Me gusta", you're actually saying "It is pleasing to me." That is why you don't see Yo, or other subject pronouns in the use of the verb. That is also why gusta is in the 3rd person singular form (he, she, it), and changes to gustan when the thing you like is plural-"They are pleasing to me."

The indirect object pronouns are as follows: Me Te  Le  Nos Os Les

If you want or need, to mention the person who is doing the liking, it must be preceded by the "a personal". A mí me gusta la fruta A tí te gusta la fruta A él, a ella, a usted, a María le gusta la fruta A nosotros nos gusta la fruta A vosotros os gusta la fruta A ellos, a ellas, a ustedes, a Maros y Roberto les gusta la fruta If what the person likes is plural, gusta becomes gustan. A mí me gustan las manzanas. A tí te gustan las manzanas. A él, a ella, a usted, a María le gustan las manzanas A nosotros nos gustan las manzanas. A vosotros os gustan las manzanas. A ellos, a ellas, a ustedes, a Maros y Roberto les gustan las manzanas. * Remember: The number of people who like the object never impacts the singularity or plurality of gustar! That is what the pronoun is for!
