Gustar construction
The verb 'gustar' works like 'to be pleasing to'; the person who likes something is expressed with an indirect object pronoun (me, te, le, nos, os, les).
Infinitive after gustar

✕Common Mistakes
Yo también me gusta cocinar.
The subject pronoun 'yo' is unnecessary and the verb should agree with the indirect object pronoun, not the subject.
También me gusta cocinarlo.
The infinitive already conveys the action; adding the object pronoun 'lo' changes the meaning and is rarely needed.

Cocinar también me gusta.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking families, cooking is a communal activity, so saying 'También me gusta cocinar' can invite conversation about recipes, family traditions, or weekend plans. Remember that the subject pronoun 'yo' is usually omitted because the indirect object pronoun already indicates the person.
