- Me gustaría ir al cine.
- Cuando era niña, me gustaba correr en el campo.

It's the same with other similar verbs:
- Me encantaría ayudarte.
- Me agradas mucho.
- Me molesta no poder ayudarte.


Sería feliz de ayudarte. / Estaría feliz de ayudarte. -> The preposition "de" is necessary to introduce the cause of my being happy.
