- Compiti (homework) is at the bottom of this page.
___________________________________________________
- Tanti auguri a te: Mary-Lynn!
- Preposizioni: Vorresti andare al duomo con me? Sì, ci vorrei andare con te. We used the plan of the town, and the map of Europe to ask each other what we would like to do. You can use the word "ci" to substitute for "in or at a place".
- L'Alfabeto. We reviewed the letters of the Italian alphabet.
- Pronomi doppi: We reviewed the compiti from last week:
Mi può far vedere il duomo?
Mi può far vedere le Dolomiti?
Ve li prendo... - I will take them for you...
- L'imperfetto. We conjugated many verbs in the imperfetto.
uscivo, uscivi, usciva. uscivamo, uscivate, uscivano.
- L'imperfetto. We started handout 22: the (purple or pink) page of cartoons, and we had to decide whether each panel of the cartoon was depicting an imperfetto scene or a passato prossimo action. "She was calling for her dog (imperfetto), and then she found him (passato prossimo).
- Il Bastimento a Tre Piani. We continued reading this fable, retold in modern Italian by Italo Calvino in his "Fiabe Italiane".
-Parole da ricordare:
Pioveva. - It was raining.
Grandinava. -It was hailing.
un giorno - some day
Non vedo l'ora di andare in Italia. - I can't wait to go to Italy!
a casa tua... - at your house (or) to your house
una guida - a guide
dappertutto - everywhere

qualche minuto - a few minutes: (literally: "Several minute". The Italian word qualche is ALWAYS followed by a singular noun!
