The 'Gustar' Family
Verbs like 'gustar' (to like), 'encantar' (to love), and 'importar' (to matter) almost always use 'me'. Think of it as 'Something is pleasing to me'.
Adding an Unnecessary 'a'
Mistake: “Saying 'Él da a me un libro.'”
Correction: The little word 'me' already includes the idea of 'to me'. Just say 'Él me da un libro'. You only add 'a mí' for emphasis, like 'A mí me gusta el chocolate' (I'm the one who likes chocolate).
