Questions & Answers about Todos nós gostamos de caminhar na cidade bonita.

Why is there a de before caminhar?

In Portuguese, the verb gostar (to like) is typically followed by de before another verb in the infinitive. So you say gostar de caminhar, gostar de comer, etc.

Why do we say Todos nós instead of just Todos?

Todos nós is more explicit, indicating all of us, rather than just all (people). While Todos alone can sometimes be understood from context, Todos nós emphasizes the group includes the speaker and others.

What role does nós play in the sentence?

Nós is the subject pronoun meaning we in Portuguese. It clarifies who is doing the action of liking (gostamos).

Why is it na cidade bonita instead of em cidade bonita?

The preposition em (in) merges with the article a (the) to form na (feminine form). You use the definite article to specify the city, and thus em + a becomes na.

Does bonita agree with cidade?

Yes. Cidade is a feminine noun, so its adjective (bonita) must also be in the feminine form to agree with cidade.
