School Activities

School activities in Portuguese 🏫

This topic is about the **activities** you do at school - lessons, sport, music, trips, homework and exams. In Portuguese, every noun comes with its **article** (o, a, os, as), which tells you its gender and number. Learn each word **with its article** - it is part of the word. (These are the European Portuguese words used by Edexcel.)

The four articles 📝

Portuguese has four ways to say "the", and which one you use depends on the noun's **gender** and **number**. **o** for masculine singular (o livro), **a** for feminine singular (a música), **os** for masculine plural (os deveres), and **as** for feminine plural (as aulas). Learn every noun with its article and the gender comes for free.
