"Que gusto de" y "Contento de"

Would someone be able to explain why "Que gusto de" and "Estoy contente de" are followed by "De"? Does "Me Alegro" work the same way? This is another nuance of grammar that I can't figure out. Thanks!

Qué gusto de, and Estoy contento/a de are usally followed by infinitives. I have similar expressions in my post. - Daniela2041, Jun 2, 2017

Again this is just idiomatic usage of "de" Spanish has got a "million" of themsmile

Me alegro is usually followed by "de" followed by the infinitive.

¡Cúanto me alegro de verte!

There is also "me alegro + de que.+ subjunctive

Me alegro de que estés aquí.

Ain't Spanish fun??? smile
