"A usted, que le gusta hacer?" I saw this sentence in my software to learning spanish and i dont understand why i need to had the "A" before the subject? this is a particular rule for the verb "gustar"? i still dont understand why i add "le" before the verb "gustar"?

Thank you a lot!

Why do you say "to" in "I give it to you"? Why not "I give it you"? Exactly the same reason in both languages: to indicate the indirect object.

i still dont understand why i add "le" before the verb "gustar"?

Why do you say "it" in "I like it that you are here? (In Spanish that "it" makes no sense, since "it" = "that you are here", and the object cannot be duplicated like that) This time the reason is not exactly the same, but it is very similar: to indicate that there is an object, which later will be elaborated in more detail (i.e. " that you are here")
