✕Common Mistakes
Sim, tem aula de história.
Use *temos* for ‘we have’; *tem* is third‑person singular (he/she/it has).
Sim, temos aulas de história.
The singular *aula* matches the singular subject *história*; *aulas* would imply multiple classes.
Sim, temos aula história.
The preposition *de* is required to link the class type with its subject.

Cultural Tip
In Brazilian schools the word *aula* is used for any scheduled lesson, whether it’s history, math, or Portuguese. When confirming a schedule, Brazilians often use *temos* (we have) or the impersonal *há* (there is/are). *Temos* stresses the group’s participation, while *há* is more neutral. Also, note that the preposition *de* is required before the subject of the class (e.g., *aula de história*, *aula de matemática*).
