Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Loro ____________________  nervosi!

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "sono" because it agrees with the subject "Loro" (they) in both gender and number. "Sono" is the first person plural form of the verb "essere" (to be) in Italian, which means "are" in English. Therefore, the sentence translates to "They are nervous!"

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    Jenny ____________ brava.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "e" which means "is", because it agrees with the singular subject "Jenny." In English grammar, the verb "to be" (is, am, are) should be used with a singular subject.

    Rate this question:

    La strada _________________ lunga.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "รจ". In Italian, the verb "essere" (to be) is conjugated as "รจ" when referring to the third person singular form. In this sentence, "La strada รจ lunga" translates to "The road is long."

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Noi ____________ allegri oggi!

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "siamo" because it is the correct conjugation of the verb "essere" (to be) in the present tense for the pronoun "noi" (we). The sentence is saying "we are happy today!"

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Voi _____ troppo cattivi.

    Explanation
    The given sentence "voi _____ troppo cattivi" requires a verb to complete it. The correct verb form to use in this sentence is "siete" which is the second person plural form of the verb "essere" (to be). Therefore, the correct answer is "siete" which means "you are" in English.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Non mi piace John, Lui _______ antipatico.

    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "e'". In Italian, "e'" is a contraction of the verb "essere" (to be) and means "is" or "he/she/it is". Therefore, the sentence "Non mi piace John, Lui e' antipatico" translates to "I don't like John, He is unpleasant". The missing word in the sentence is the verb "essere" in its contracted form.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Io _________ americana, sono nata in New York.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "sono" because it agrees with the subject "Io" (I) in both gender and number. "Sono" is the first person singular form of the verb "essere" (to be) in Italian, which means "I am." Therefore, the sentence translates to "I am American, I was born in New York."

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Mario e Andrea ______________ onesti. Loro non dicono bugie mai.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "sono" because it agrees with the subject "Mario e Andrea" which is plural. In Italian, the verb "essere" (to be) is conjugated as "sono" for the first person plural form. Therefore, the sentence translates to "Mario and Andrea are honest. They never tell lies."

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Lui _____________ tedesco.

    Explanation
    In Italian, the verb "essere" (to be) is conjugated differently depending on the subject. In this case, "Lui" means "he" and the correct form of "essere" is "รจ". However, in this sentence, the verb is contracted with the pronoun "e" (and) to form "e'". So, the correct answer is "e'".

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Paul e Ryan, voi ______________ onesti.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "siete" because it is the correct form of the verb "essere" (to be) in the second person plural (you all) in Italian. This form matches with the subject "voi" (you all) in the sentence, making it grammatically accurate.
