✦Grammar Breakdown
Queaulaagentetemdepois?
Que (interrogative adjective)
Used before a noun to ask "what/which". It agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies.
aula (noun, feminine)
Means "class" or "lesson". In Portuguese nouns have gender; "aula" is feminine, so articles and adjectives would be "a"/"uma".
a gente (pronoun)
Colloquial way to say "we". Grammatically it is third‑person singular, so the verb that follows must be conjugated in the third person.
tem (verb ter, 3rd‑person singular)
Present‑tense form of "ter" (to have). Because the subject is "a gente", the verb stays in the 3rd‑person singular form.
depois (adverb)
Means "later" or "afterwards". It can stand alone at the end of a sentence to indicate a future point in time.

Que aula a gente temos depois?
When using "a gente", the verb must stay in third‑person singular; "temos" is the first‑person plural form.
Que aula nos tem depois?
"Nos" is a clitic pronoun and cannot replace "a gente" in this construction.
Que aula a gente tem depois de?
Adding "de" creates a prepositional phrase that changes the meaning; the correct adverb is just "depois".

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, "a gente" is the go‑to informal pronoun for "we" and is used even in professional settings among friends. In Portugal, speakers tend to use "nós" more often, and the verb would be conjugated as "temos" (e.g., "Que aula nós temos depois?"). Keep the tone casual when you use "a gente"; in formal writing stick with "nós".
