Grammar Review #1, Episode 1-15. Nouns,...

Italian Beginners
About this episode

Ciao!

Here's a first Grammar Review covering the key elements to remember from episode 1-15!

:)

..


nouns

uno = before z, s+const, pn, gs

lo, gli = before z, s+const, pn, gs + vowels

ending on consonant or accented vowel - no plural ending on nouns


to be/to have

io sono - tu sei - lui/lei è --- noi siamo - voi siete - loro sono

io ho - tu hai - lui/lei ha --- noi abbiamo - voi avete - loro hanno


adj

usually after noun but, if on "the list", before.

But with modifier (molto, poco etc), put both after.

3 colors that don't change in plurals: blu, rosa, viola.


Great work!

😊
