-Gli argomenti (the topics): What we did in class, and more.
-Warmup: "Che cosa hai fatto la settimana scorsa?" "Com'è andata la settimana?" (Practicing the passato prossimo)
- Passato prossimo, irregular past participles, plus the adverb "non ancora" ("not yet").
I'm having a coffee. - Prendo un caffè.
I haven't had a coffee yet. - Non ho ancora preso un caffè.
We practiced the verbs in the third box of handout 3. We translated a few sentences using the verbs from the third box:
morire, offrire, aprire, soffrire.
Can you translate the following sentences?
I'm offering a coffee to Luigi.
I haven't offered Luigi coffee yet.
I suffer.
I haven't suffered yet.
I'm opening the restaurant.
I haven't opened the restaurant yet.
- Reflexive verbs and reciprocal verbs in the past tense. We went over our homework. From "Piccolo Ripasso" on pages 186, 187, exercises A, B, and C.
- Quanto costa? Quanto costano? Numeral practice. (Exercise A on page 185)
- In che anno...? We practiced saying dates. (Exercise C on page 186)

- Avverbi. We practiced some adverbs. click here for the handout.
- "Pesca una carta!" We played a game based on the card game "Fish", using the regions of Italy.
Vai in Sardegna?
Non più!
Ci vado io!

- Verbi: one subject and two verbs. Of sentences that came up in class, we saw these examples of one subject and two verbs:
Ho cominciato a guardare il film. - I began to watch a film.
Siamo andati a studiare. - We went to study.
Both cominciare and andare require the preposition a before the second verb (an infinitive).
- Parole da ricordare (words to remember)
Sono contenta di vederti. - I am happy to see you.
una partita di calcio - a soccer match
euro - euro (the currency) is both singular and plural
Secondo me... - In my opinion... (According to me...)
Secondo te... - In your opinion... (According to you...)
