1.  Continue with Audio unit 10.

2. Preposizioni: di, a, da, in, con, su, per , tra/fra or one of those combined with an article. Click here for the English translation of all of the sentences in the handout. (click here for the handout). This may not be a preposition REVIEW for you so much as a way to show us some preposition uses that we are not very familiar with. Fill in the blanks with di, a, da, in, con, su, per , tra/fra or one of those combined with an article. You may have to look up many of these uses. So that we are all on the same meaning, please check the English translation before or after you fill in the blanks. Even if you don't have time to look up the ones you don't know, have a guess!
We're not going to send you the answers, but we'll go over these together in class.
