"He likes tea."

Translation: Ele gosta de chá.

[Valerie_Shanti]

The diference between DO and DE please...

[tanisemello]

Eu gosto DO chá. I like of tea (an specific tea). Eu gosto DE chá. I like tea (every type of tea)

[Paulenrique]

Do = de + o (literally "of/from the") for masculine words. De = of/from

[Luis_AT]

I thought gosta was feminine and gosto masculine.

[Paulenrique]

no, verbs agree with the noun/pronoun, not with a gender or number (except for the participle). eu gosto, ele gosta, ela gosta, eles gostam, elas gostam.

[GeorgJrgen2]

Thanks for making this clear. Although I should have known better, I had the same question this morning. I think, now I will remember.

[LinkRunesson]

Woudn't it be gosto?

[Paulenrique]

No. You have to conjugate verbs accordingly: http://www.conjuga-me.net/verbo-gostar
