Hi Ana. You have to change the De to Do in "I like David" because David is a male name. If you say "I like Carol" it would be "Eu gosto DA Carol", because Carol is a female name.

When u say "Eu gosto DE pão fresco" you are saying that you like fresh bread, any fresh bread. But when u say "Eu gosto DO pão fresco", it means that there is one and an specific bread u like. Not any fresh bread, understood?

You can contact me if you are still in doubt. [emoji]
