こんにちは (Konnichiwa) Abgueguen,

Thanks for your question. 

 

Since すき (suki) is a な (na) adjective, you need to add the particle な (na) when using it to modify the thing that comes after it. In this case, すき (suki) “like” modifies that word だけ (dake) “just,” so we need to add the particle な (na) after すき (suki) to join these two together.

勉強を頑張ってください! (Benkyō o ganbatte kudasai!)
