What are the grammar rules here?

何【なに】をするのが好き【すき】ですか？

Nani wo suru no ga suki desu ka?

Why "no ga"? Why before "suki"? Where can I read about this?

If N is a noun then Nが好きです means "I like N".

  • 何が好きですか means "What thing do you like?"

  • の in 何をするの makes the 何をする a noun. So 何をするのが好きですか means "What thing do you like to do?"
