Neues Konzept
O que você gosta de fazer?
You already use gostar de with things: Eu gosto de café. Put a verb straight after de — in the infinitive, the form ending in -r — and you're talking about what you like doing:
- Eu gosto de ler. — I like reading.
- A Luana gosta de dançar. — Luana likes dancing.
The question you'll hear is O que você gosta de fazer no tempo livre? — What do you like doing in your free time?
