The diference between DO and DE please...


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/tanisemello

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

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

I thought gosta was feminine and gosto masculine.

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.

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