Common Mistakes

  • Também gosto a aula de ciências.

    The verb gostar requires the preposition de, not a direct object.

  • Também eu gosto da aula de ciências.

    While understandable, the natural order is ‘Eu também gosto’ or ‘Também gosto’. Placing ‘eu’ after ‘também’ sounds awkward.

  • Também gosto de aula de ciências.

    If you omit the article, you lose the contraction; the correct form is ‘da aula de ciências’ (de + a).

Alternatives

  • Eu também gosto da aula de ciências.

    I also like the science class.

  • Gosto da aula de ciências também.

    I like the science class too.

  • A aula de ciências também me agrada.

    The science class also pleases me.

Cultural Tip

In Brazil, school subjects are commonly referred to with ‘aula de + subject’. The verb gostar always needs the preposition de, so saying *gosto a aula* is incorrect. Also, ‘ciências’ usually covers biology, physics, and chemistry together, not just one discipline, so the phrase is understood as liking the whole natural‑science curriculum.
