I am a teacher What is your name ? --

Frases Negativas
 Para formar a negativa em inglês precisamos do verbo auxiliar "to do":
 Este verbo auxilia todos os verbos, com excepção de : to be, to have, will/would,
can/could,eoutros verbos modais, que formam a negativa acrescentando apenas 'nt ou not.

➢ REGRA: (RULE)
 A negativa n't ou not surge sempre depois do verbo - auxiliar. Ex.: I am not. / She's not. / She isn't.
- modal. Ex.: She can not run. / They can't run.

 No tempo verbal do Present Simple e do Past Simple dos outros verbos (e quando não há
na frasequalquer outro verbo auxiliar) usa-se o verbo auxiliar "to do" conjugado no Present Simple ou
Past Simple (conforme o caso) e de seguida surge o verbo principal da frase no infinitivo sem o
"to" e quer a conjugação quer o tempo verbal Present ou Past são feitos no próprio verbo auxiliar
"do":
Ex.: I buy a book. Eu compro um livro. / I don't buy a book. Eu não compro um livro.
I bought a book. Eu comprei um livro / I didn't buy a book. Eu não comprei um livro
She buys a book. Ela compra um livro. / She doesn't buy a book. Ela não compra um livro.
She bought a book. Ela comprou um livro / She didn't buy a book. Ela não comprou um livro

 O Present Simple dos Verbos em Inglês O Past Simple dos Verbos em Inglês
Os verbos regulares e os verbos irregulares são diferentes
- Quando referimos um verbo em Inglês dizemos quando se forma o Past Simple.
normalmente o infinitivo do verbo antecedido de "to". Por
exemplo, para referirmos o verbo "fazer" dizemos que é o Os verbos Regulares formam o Past Simple
verbo "to do", e o verbo "trabalhar" e´ "to work" acrescentando a letra d ou ed ao infinitivo do verbo sem o
- Contudo, o infinitivo dos verbos é também a raiz dos "to" a todas as pessoas da conjugação.
mesmos verbos, e é essa forma que é usada na maioria dos
tempos verbais mas sem "to" - Acrescentamos d quando o verbo já termina em letra e:
Ex.: Verbo "to like" (gostar) - liked. (gostei)
- No Present Simple os verbos formam-se: I liked, you liked, he liked, she liked, it liked, we liked,
- apenas com a raiz na primeira e segunda pessoas do you liked, they liked.
singular - She liked him in the past. / I liked him in the past.
"I", "you" e em todas as pessoas do plural "we", "you",
"they". - Acrescentamos ed quando o verbo não termina em letra
- Ex.: Verbo "to go" (ir) "e" e quando termina em y
I go, you go, we go, you go, they go.
Verbo "to work" (trabalhar) - Verbo que não termina em y:
I work, you work, we work, you work, they work. - Ex.: Verbo "to work" (trabalhar) - worked (trabalhei) I
Verbo "to wash" (lavar) worked, you worked, he worked, she worked, it worked, we
I wash, you wash, we wash, you wash, they wash. worked, you worked, they worked.

Na terceira pessoa do singular (he , she , it) - Verbo terminado em y precedido de vogal - não se altera
- com a raiz e uma terminação em ( s ) o y para i antes de acrescentar ed.
- Ex.: Verbo "to work" (trabalhar) - - Ex.: Verbo "to play" (jogar, representar) - played
he works, she works, it works. (joguei, representei)
- com a raiz e uma terminação em ( es ), se a raiz do verbo I played, you played, he played, she played, it played,
terminar em ch, sh, ss ou outros sons sibilantes ou se we played, you played, they played.
forem verbos como "to go", "to do", etc..
- Ex.: Verbo "to wash" (lavar) - Verbo terminado em y precedido de consoante - altera-se

- em verbos como "to study" (estudar) - que têm duas - Para os verbos Irregulares não há regra para formar o
sílabas e terminam em "y", antes de acrescentar "es" é Past Simple. Existe uma lista de verbos irregulares que
necessário mudar o " y " para " i " indica qual é o past simple e o past participle dos verbos
she studies, he studies, it studies irregulares em Inglês.
- Ex.: Verbo "to go" (ir) - went (fui)
O verbo "to do" (tal como os verbos "to be" e "to have" I went, you went, he went, she went, it went, we went,
funciona também como auxiliar dos outros verbos nas you went, they went.
frases interrogativas e nas negativas e neste caso deixa de - Ex.: Verbo "to see" (ver) - saw (vi)
ter o significado de "fazer". I saw, you saw, he saw, she saw, it saw, we saw,

13 Top Tourist Attractions in Coimbra & Easy Day

Trips

Lying halfway between Lisbon and Oporto in the Beiras region of central Portugal, venerable Coimbra
nestles on the banks of the River Mondego in dignified glory. Famed for its university - the oldest in
the country - and a fantastic collection of handsome churches, serene monasteries, and lively cultural
institutions, Coimbra is also a busy commercial hub with its many shops, boutiques, and appetizing
choice of cafés and restaurants. The city center is divided into two neighborhoods, the Lower Town
and the Upper Town. Its historic heart lies high above the Mondego on Alcaçova hill, known to the
Romans as Aeminium. Here, medieval convents, cathedrals, and some fine museums cluster around
the old University.

Kings were born in Coimbra; they are entombed here, too. Indeed, it was once the proud capital of the
Portuguese nation. This royal heritage permeates the city's steep hills, narrow lanes, and verdant
parks, all of which are best explored on foot. And exploration further afield is rewarded with the
largest and most compelling Roman site in Portugal, and an emerald-hued forest of enchanting allure
and breathtaking beauty.

1. Velha Universidade de Coimbra (Old University)

The University of Coimbra is one of the oldest universities in Europe. Interestingly, it was originally
founded in Lisbon in 1290 by King Dinis, but was transferred to Coimbra in 1537 and located in what
used to be a medieval palace. Partly rebuilt in the 17th and 18th centuries in Baroque and neo-
classical styles, this is the Old University where some of the most celebrated tourist attractions in
Coimbra can be found. The stunning eye-opener that is the Biblioteca Joanina is reason enough to visit
this venerable institution. The 18th-century library, named after its benefactor, João V, is a sumptuous
feast of gilt and exotic wood and trompe-l'oeil decoration. The lacquered bookcases are lined with
nearly 300,000 medieval books and manuscripts from all parts of Portugal. Another scene-stealer is
the Capela de São Miguel. Architectural elements of this beautiful chapel date from 1517, but most of
what you see today is 17th and 18th century including the fine azulejos (tiles) that embellish the walls
of the nave and chancel. The Mannerist altarpiece dates from 1605. The chapel's showpiece is an
extraordinary Baroque organ lavished with gilded angels. Outside, a sweeping courtyard provides
edifying views across the city; the bell tower is a cherished symbol of the university.

2. Igreja de Santa Cruz

Afonso Henriques and Sancho I, the first two kings of Portugal, are entombed in Santa Cruz church,
which forms part of a monastery founded in 1131 by the canons of St. Augustine. The Romanesque
church is noted for its Manueline façade attributed to Diogo Boitac, who was also responsible for
designing the chapterhouse. In fact, Santa Cruz's form has been chiseled out by some of the 16th
century's finest sculptors, noted exponents like Nicolau Chanterène and Jean de Rouen, whose
carvings ornament the church's Portal da Majestade. The extravagantly traced royal tombs are also
said to be Chanterène's handiwork. A sightseeing highlight is the serene Claustro do Silêncio, a double-
tiered Manueline cloister featuring outstanding bas-reliefs in the southwest and northeast corners
depicting Christ's Passion. An elaborate Renaissance fountain provides a centerpiece water feature.

3. Sé Velha (Old Cathedral)

The Old Cathedral is more akin to a fort such is its solid, almost oppressive appearance - all crenelated
walls, narrow window-slits, and heavy-set veneer. In fact, this is one of the finest examples of
Romanesque architecture in Portugal. Consecrated in 1184, King Sancho I was crowned here shortly
afterwards when Coimbra was the nation's capital. There are flourishes of extravagance relieving the
sombre effect of the exterior: the elegant Renaissance Porta Especiosa on the north side of the church
is the most obvious example. Otherwise, tourists need to venture inside to appreciate more
ostentatious design signatures such as the gilded, late Gothic high altar, which dates from 1498. The
fancy retable, which depicts the birth of Christ and the Assumption, is the work of Flemish master
wood-carvers, Olivier de Gand and Jean d'Ypres. Incidentally, the square in front of the Old Cathedral
is where João I was proclaimed king in 1385.

4. Sé Nova (New Cathedral)

The fussy tapered façade of the New Cathedral contrasts starkly with its older, more conservative
namesake. But it can hardly be described as contemporary; this church was founded by the Jesuits in
1598 and consecrated in 1640. The exuberance of the exterior is equaled by the opulence of the
interior - the high altar of gold filigree standing majestically in the 17th-century chancel is a standout
feature, the pair of 18th-century organs positioned either side lending form and function. Actually,
there is a bit of the old in the new: the octagonal font and the choir stalls once belonged in the Sé
Velha.
5. Mondego River Cruise

A cruise on the Rio Mondego is one of the most relaxing things to do when sightseeing in Coimbra.
The city's venerable patina is clearly visible from the river, and drifting lazily along this ancient
watercourse affords visitors an appealing and wholly different perspective on this beguiling
destination. A novel option is to combine a cruise with a tour of Coimbra by tuk-tuk. These
motorized, three-wheeler cabs scooter through the city's streets and lanes with alarming ease to
access places a conventional vehicle just wouldn't manage. Another more romantic idea is to look
out for evening cruises that offer passengers dinner onboard accompanied by performances of fado,
which in Coimbra is sung in a more light-hearted manner.
6. Museu Nacional Machado de Castro (Machado de Castro National Museum)

Re-opened to the public after undergoing an extensive redesign by respected architect, Gonçalo
Byrne, the Machado de Castro National Museum (MNMC) - named after the famous Portuguese
sculptor, Joaquim Machado de Castro (1731-1822) - is one of Portugal's foremost cultural
institutions. The new space boasts five floors, offering three times more exhibition space than in its
previous incarnation. The permanent displays of Roman archaeology, which include a remarkable
cryptoporticus, 12th to 18th-century southern European sacred metalwork, 14th to 18th-century
jewelry, and one of the finest collections of medieval statuary in Portugal that spans the 10th to the
18th century is supplemented by rare and valuable paintings, drawings, textiles, furniture, and
ceramics. And if that isn't enough to take in, MNMC also possesses other important collections of
early books and manuscripts, as well as glassware and artifacts from the Far East. A worthwhile
diversion away from this magical hoard is the double loggia in the courtyard that affords inspiring
views over the town.
 7. Mosteiro de Santa Clara-a-Velha
The evocative, partly sunken ruins of the Convent of Santa Clara-a-Velha are all that remain of the
13th-century monastery. Built on the south bank of the River Mondego, the building served as a
retreat for Santa Isabel, the widow of King Dinis. Isabel oversaw the construction of a new church
where she was interred after her death in 1336. However, the death knell was also sounding for
Santa Clara itself after consistent flooding undermined the convent's foundations. The building was
eventually abandoned in 1677, the sisters opting for a new building on higher ground. In 1696, the
remains of Isabel herself were moved to this new address, the Convent of Santa Clara-a-Nova.
Velha's original Gothic church was eventually restored and shares the site with a modern
interpretation center where visitors can learn more about the fascinating history behind the convent
and mull over archaeological finds unearthed from the silted ruins.
8. Mosteiro de Santa Clara-a-Nova

The Convent of Santa Clara-a-Nova, built between 1649 and 1677, replaced the earlier monastery,
which succumbed to flood water and had to be abandoned. The new convent, built on drier land at
Monte da Esperança, on the same side of the river, is now part of a military barracks, but it's still
possible to visit the 17th-century silver shrine of Santa Isabel inside the Baroque church. The saint's
original stone sarcophagus lies empty in the lower choir. Worth noting are the sizable cloisters, laid
out in 1733 by Carlos Mardel. Besides a small military museum, the rest of the rooms are off limits to
the general public.

9. Arco de Almedina

Part of the original gateway to the old city, the Almedina Arch is a relic of Coimbra's Moorish town
walls (in Arabic medina means town). The oldest part of the structure dates from around the 9th
century and originally consisted of a pair of turrets linked by an arch. It was greatly altered and
restored in the 12th century to include the Torre de Anto, built above the arch replete with
Renaissance windows. Today, the tower houses the Centre of the Walled City interpretation center
that recounts the history of the defensive walls that once surrounded Coimbra. An annex provides
space for temporary exhibitions and talks on related themes.

10. Jardim Botânico (Botanical Garden)

The city's botanical gardens are the most expansive in Portugal. Integrated into the University of
Coimbra's faculty of natural history, they were created by the Marquês de Pombal during the reform
of the university in 1773. Landscaped on valley terraces near the river, the entrance to the verdant
20-hectare estate lies under the shadow of the 16th-century aqueduct of São Sebastião. The
exuberant and exotic collection of flora numbers some 1,200 plants and trees from around the
world. Several greenhouses, one dating from 1856, are used for cultivating sub-tropical plant and
flower species. The gardens feature several ponds and a central fountain and, hidden amongst
dense vegetation, the tiny 19th-century Capela de São Bento.

11. Portugal dos Pequenitos

Grown ups are welcome at this imaginative theme park, the name of which translates as "the little
ones of Portugal." That's because everything here is a world in miniature, a thoroughly amusing
exhibition of scaled-down versions of Portugal's most cherished national monuments, finest
buildings, and traditional villages. Coimbra is represented by its old university. There are also
buildings from former colonies (the park was established in 1940). A learning-through-play park
basically intended for children, adults will also have fun exploring this Lilliputian landscape. Within
the grounds are three museums specializing in furniture, traditional costume, and naval artifacts.

12 .Jardins da Quinta das Lágrimas

Portugal's own tragic version of Romeo and Juliet was played out in the Quinta das Lágrimas
gardens (in Portuguese lágrimas means tears) where lady-in-waiting Inês de Castro, the mistress
of King Pedro I, was murdered in 1355 on the orders of Afonso IV. The deed was said to have
taken place in the gardens of a villa near a fountain - the Fonte dos Amores. The villa is now an
upscale hotel, but the grounds, planted with ancient trees and landscaped with ponds and
watercourses, are open to the public.
13 .Praça do Comércio

Coimbra's busy main square is the city's commercial hub. Lined with shops, boutiques, cafés, and
restaurants, it's also a popular tourist attraction in its own right. In one corner stands the church
of Sao Tiago. Consecrated in the 12th century, its façade has been heavily restored, but inside, an
altarpiece dripping with dazzling gilded wood greets admiring sightseers. The outside of the building
is particularly alluring at night when it's illuminated. Just off nearby Rua Ferreira Borges are the
aforementioned Arco de Almedina and Torre de Anto.

Day Trips from Coimbra

Conímbriga
Things to do outside Coimbra include exploring the sprawling and wonderfully evocative Roman
ruins at Conímbriga. Located 15 kilometers southwest of the city, this archaeological treasure
dates from the 2nd century BC and is the most extensively excavated Roman site in Portugal.
Clearly once a substantial town, the foundations of many houses; an elaborate system of baths;
a forum replete with market place, shop entrances, and a nearby temple; plus an aqueduct have
been uncovered. Excavations have also unearthed a number of exquisite floor mosaics, some
astonishingly intact and covered to protect them from the elements. The finest and most
luxurious buildings date from the latter days of the Roman Empire, from the 2nd and 3rd
centuries AD. These include the Casa das Fontes, a huge villa complex built around beautiful
colonnaded gardens and a series of fountains. Similarly, the grounds of Casa de Cantaber are
embellished with ornamental pools. Both are noted for their remarkable mosaic floors. After
pondering this ancient urban wonder, visitors can browse the excellent Museu Monográfico de
Conímbriga. The museum explains the history of the site and displays a wealth of artifacts
discovered on-site and presented thematically.
Mata Nacional do Buçaco
The Buçaco National Forest, which lies 25 kilometers northeast of Coimbra on the northern
slopes of the Serra do Buçaco, is virtually unrivaled in its scenic beauty and richness of
vegetation and definitely worth a diversion. It's a magical and mysterious destination, and an
ideal excursion for tourists based in Coimbra. At 105 hectares, the forest is generous in its
geography, and while it's possible to drive through, this is an environment worth exploring on
foot. A network of walks crisscross the park leading to secret vales, cascading springs, hermits'
grottoes, and historic monuments. Along the way, visitors can admire some 700 native and
exotic species of trees, including venerable cedars, ancient ginkgos, and swaying palms. Buçaco
was originally a monastic retreat, and a cork-lined Carmelite monastery dating from 1628 as well
 as several moss-covered chapels are hidden away in the undergrowth here. In 1810, the park
echoed with gunfire as British and Portuguese troops, led by Wellington, routed French forces in
a decisive battle along a ridge high above the forest, marked today by a lofty victory obelisk. At
the park's center is the remarkable Palace Hotel Bussaco, an early 20th-century former hunting
lodge commissioned by King Carlos I. The Neo-Manueline folly, designed by Italian architect Luigi
Manini, is noted for its sumptuous tiled interior. The luxury property is now one of Portugal's
great hotels.
