Questions & Answers about Os alunos não podem trazer bebidas para a aula.
Why is trazer in its basic, unconjugated form?
Where does the negative word não go when there are two verbs working together?
Why is there no word for "the" before bebidas?
In Portuguese, you can leave out the definite article (like as) when talking about an unspecified amount of something in general. The students cannot bring "drinks" in general, rather than a specific set of drinks.
Why do we use para a aula for "to the class"?
The preposition para means "to" or "towards" and is often used when emphasizing the physical destination of a movement, like bringing items to a room. We just place it next to the feminine word for "the" (a) because aula (class/lesson) is a feminine word.
