Corso di italiano con Daniela - Modi Indefiniti - Part 1

Difficulty: Intermediate

Italy

Daniela ci spiega i modi indefiniti. Essi sono tre: infinito, participio, gerundio. Sono detti “modi indefiniti” perché non forniscono indicazioni riguardo la persona (prima, seconda, terza) e il numero (singolare o plurale) del soggetto a cui il verbo si riferisce.

Corso di italiano con Daniela - 2) Proposizioni subordinate causali - Part 1

Difficulty: Intermediate

Italy

In a sentence, the main clause can stand on its own, but there can also be a subordinate or dependent clause. Today's lesson addresses the causal subordinate clause, which gives the reason for the action in the main clause. Conjunctions such as perché (because) dato che (given that) are used to join the two clauses.

Corso di italiano con Daniela - La forma passiva - Part 2

Difficulty: Intermediate

Italy

After summing up about the passive voice, Daniela goes on to talk about some other related constructions. It's important to remember that the passive is formed with transitive verbs only. But when we don't have a named subject or agent, we have a few other ways to make a sentence passive-like. One way uses the famous particella (particle) si. Si is used for so many things in Italian that it is bound to create confusion for learners, even advanced learners. Don't worry, part 3 of the lesson will explain further. Another way uses the verb andare (to go) to indicate something that must be done. Here too, the stress is on the action, not the subject or agent.
