Piacere is used differently than 'to like' in English: the thing liked is the grammatical subject and the person who likes it is an indirect object (mi, ti, gli/le, ci, vi, gli). Use 'mi piace' for a singular subject and 'mi piacciono' for plural. For past: 'mi è piaciuto' (sing.) / 'mi sono piaciuti' (pl.).
