Answer 1

---me gustan..........

Yes.

.

but..somebody told it's wrong to say.. Me gustan tocar la guitarra y cantar. ?__?

It's an exception. When gustar is followed my more than one infinitive (tocar y cantar), you still use gusta and not gustan. Why? I have no idea. It makes no sense. But that's the way gustar is.

Me gusta mi perro.

Me gustan mi perro y mi gato.

Me gusta tocar la guitarra.

Me gusta tocar la guitarra y cantar. (It doesn't make sense, but it's correct).
