to make clear who likes the thing/action:

A mis padres les gusta
escuchar música romántica a mis padres.
4. Questions: YES/NO
QUESTIONS:
Place the indirect object pronoun before the gustar conjugation: ¿Te gustan los
chocolates? (Are chocolates pleasing to you?); You can answer with sí o no in

no me gustan los chocolates; Sí, a
mi mamá le gustan las flores. INTERROGATIVE
