Here's why:
* Gustar is a verb that means "to be pleasing to," and it's used to express liking or disliking something.
* It's an impersonal verb, meaning it doesn't have a specific subject (like "I," "you," "he," etc.). Instead, the object of the verb is what receives the action of "being pleasing."
* Because it's impersonal, the verb conjugation doesn't change based on the person performing the action. It always stays in the third person singular form: gusta.
Here are some examples:
* A mí me gusta el chocolate. (I like chocolate.)
* A ella le gusta la música clásica. (She likes classical music.)
* A ellos les gusta la comida picante. (They like spicy food.)
Note: You always use the indirect object pronoun (me, te, le, nos, os, les) before "gusta" to specify who likes the thing.
