- Warmup: - "Perché eri di buon umore?" Perché suo marito le aveva dato dei fiori. (You used the trapassato to tell what had put you into a good mood last week .

- "La casa di Essere." We noted that "salire" "scendere" and "vivere" can sometimes be used with either "essere' or "avere" in the passato prossimo.

We wrote all of the past participles on the board, and practiced a few in sentences.

un miglio -
one mile
due miglia - two miles (notice it changes from masculine to feminine when it becomes plural)
cagnolone - big dog

Mi sono innamorato/a. - I fell in love.
Il cuore mi batteva mille all'ora. - My heart was beating a thousand miles an hour

Esercizio A: Notice that number 9 has a modal verb and an infinitive which takes "essere". So use "essere" as the auxiliary.
Esercizio B: "Luca" is a boy's name. and on number 8, notice that with the modal verb, it is the infinitive which governs whether you will use "essere" or "avere".

6. Memorize the dialogo
