Dar la gana a alguien
PD. He cambiado el tema porque me he contestado la otra pregunta...

La traducción en mi libro dice,,

Charlie was putty in her capable hands.
Charlie hacía lo que a ella le daba la
gana.

No entiendo la construcción de ella..

LE = "a ella" o "charlie"

"Darle la gana (de algo) a alguien"

Charly hace lo que le da la gana. = Charly does whatever he wants.
Charly hace lo que a ella le da la gana. = Charly does whatever she wants.

Yo hago lo que me da la gana = I do whatever pleases me.

¿Crees que puedes hacer lo que te da la gana? = Do you think you can do whatever you want?

Esos perros aterrorizan al gato cuando les da la gana = Those dogs terrify the cat whenever they feel like it.

También, "darle en las ganas a alguien" = darle en el gusto, satisfy them, give them what they want.
