Some verbs require the use of an indirect object pronoun (IOP) along with the verb.

IOP-me, te, le, nos, les

The verbs are conjugated (in whatever tense necessary) according to the “thing” (noun) or “action” (verb) and not the “person” just like gustar.(This can be very different from English)

Me gustan los deportes. or Los deportes me gustan.

Sports are pleasing to me (I like sports)

Me gusta jugar al béisbol

To play baseball is pleasing to me (I like to play baseball)

The IOP comes right in front of the verb. Usually the indirect object “person” goes in front of the IOP, preceded by a personal “a”
