Confused about Prepositions in Portuguese
I can't distinguish these words:
disso, daquilo
desse(a), daquele(a)
nesse(a), naquele(a)
nisso, naquilo
deste(a), neste(a)
I show you some sentences from Duolingo
Eu gosto disso. (I like THAT)
Eu gosto daquilo. (I like THAT)
Eu penso naquilo. (I think about THAT)
Eu gosto desse café. (I like THAT coffee)
Eu gosto daquele cachrro. (I like THAT dog)
Eu sou bom naquilo. (I am good at THAT)
Nós somos bons nisso. (We are good at THAT)
Eu gosto daqueles sapatos. (I like THOSE shoes)
Eu gosto dessas botas. (I like THOSE boots)
Eu penso naquelas roupas. (I think of THOSE clothes)
From these sentences, it seems that some words share the same meaning THAT and THOSE
I wonder how to distinguish them and use them properly??
And what's the difference between these sentences?
Ele toca o lobo. (He touches THE wolf)
Ele toca no lobo. (He touches THE wolf)

Confused about PRONOUNS in Portuguese
Here are some examples from Duolingo courses:
Your shirt ---- Sua / Tua camisa;
Your cat ---- Teu / Seu gato
I've figured out My / Mine: Meu(s) / Minha(s);
and Our(s) : Nosso(s) / Nossa(s)
but still cannot distinguish your(s) : tua(s), sua(s), seu(s), teu(s);
And what about Their(s), Your(s) [plural], Her(s), His, Its in Portuguese??
