What type of pronouns are used with the verb gustar?

The verb "gustar" in Spanish uses indirect object pronouns (also known as "pronombres de complemento indirecto").

Here's why:

* "Gustar" means "to be pleasing to" It describes someone or something being pleasing *to* another person.

* Indirect object pronouns indicate the person or thing that is the recipient of the action.

Example:

* Me gusta el helado. (I like ice cream.)

* "Me" is the indirect object pronoun, indicating that the ice cream is pleasing to "me".

Here are the common indirect object pronouns used with "gustar":

* me (to me)

* te (to you - informal)

* le (to him/her/you - formal)

* nos (to us)

* les (to them/you - formal)

Important Note:

* "Gustar" follows a different word order than verbs in English. The thing being liked comes *before* the pronoun and "gustar".

* "Gustar" is always conjugated to agree with the person or thing that is doing the liking (the subject).
