Look at your COMPITO 11 marzo, Task 5 - di che colore e' la bandiera......
Some of you ignored the model in the webpage, or DID NOT PAY ATTENTION, or not enough.
THE COLORS ARE IN THE FEMININE FORM.
Perche'? Perche BANDIERA e' femminile. The colors are ADJECTIVES.
REMINDER: ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS analyze the NOUNS: are they M or F? Singular or Plural?
ADJECTIVES must conform to GENDER (M/F) AND NUMBER (S/P)
VERBS are conjugated according to whatever person is the subject.
Translate the following in COMMENTS and EXPLAIN why you use two different forms of the verb.
THE FLAG IS BEAUTIFUL AND NEW
"You, Flag, are beautiful and new."

ReplyDeleteLa bandiera e' bella e nuova
ReplyDeleteTu, la bandiera, siete belle e nuove
Essere third person singular is e'
Someone and something is plural and "tu" makes the verb "siete"
The flag is beautiful and new - La bandiera é bella e nuova
ReplyDeleteYou, Flag, are beautiful and new - Tu,la bandiera, sei belli e nuovi.
In the first case the verb takes the form of the essere "é" - 3rd person, feminine (because flag "la bandiera" ends with "a" and is feminine). In the second case I used the form of the essere "tu sei", therefore the adjectives end with "i".
The flag is beautiful and new: La bandiera e' bella e nuova
ReplyDeleteYou, Flag, are beautiful and new: Tu, la bandiera, siete belle e nuove
