Can someone give me some examples of questions you might ask using 'O que', 'do que', and 'qual'? I struggle to understand the difference between these three phrases when it comes to the grammatical rules.

"O que" is used for open questions, usually when you are asking something based on a verb: O que você gosta de fazer? - What do you like to do? Do que ela está falando/Sobre o que ela está falando? - What is she talking about? O que ele quer comer? - What does he want to eat? "Qual" is followed by a noun before the verb. It's used for "closed" questions too, when you offer options. Qual esporte você pratica? - What sport do you practice? Ela quer falar sobre qual assunto? - What subject does she want to talk about? Qual comida ele quer: pizza ou bolo? - Which food does he want: pizza or cake?

O QUE você está fazendo agora? WHAT are you doing now? QUAL o seu nome? WHAT is your name? DO QUE esse bolo é feito? WHAT is this cake made of? In Portugues "WHAT" has more than one meaning.
