Singular thing that you like, singular form of the verb Me gustan las vacaciones. Vacations are pleasing to me/I like vacations. Plural thing that you like, plural verb But its not all about you, and you can do more than just like things.

Word order in Spanish is more flexible.

Use this structure if its easier to see how the verb relates to the noun in the first part of the sentence.

First, the other people

Un poco de confusin

Le gusta bailar.

To whom does LE refer?

Sometimes its necessary to be redundant. So youll have the pronoun AND the name of the person that the pronoun replaces. Youll need the personal A, the persons name and the indirect object pronoun. The word order is flexible. Le gusta bailar a Laura. A Laura le gusta bailar.. Laura likes to dance [Dancing is liked by Laura].
