INDEFINITE ARTICLES A/AN
In Italian the Indefinite articles A/AN translate "UN-UNO-UNA-UN'-
We can use them to talk about anything we do not want to quantify.
We use the article A before words beginning with a consonant: A PEN. We use the article AN before words beginning with a vowel: AN APPLE.
PAY ATTENTION, PLZ!
When the H is silent we use AN, when the sound is IU we use A.
EXAMPLES:
AN HOUR
A UNIVERSITY
DEFINITE ARTICLES
In English is "THE"
In Italian THE translates the articles IL-LO-LA- I-GLI-LE
Example:THE APPLE-LA MELA
THE APPLES-LE MELE
Telling the time
A. twenty-six past ten
B. midday/noon
C. ten to one
D. nine to twelve

- YES, YOU CAN/ NO, YOU CAN’T.
Can è un verbo modale. Si usa per:
· parlare di abilità – IO SO PARLARE CINESE.
· fare delle richieste – POSSO AVERE LA TUA PENNA, PER FAVORE?
· Chiedere o dare un permesso – POSSO ANDARE AL BAGNO, PER FAVORE? SI, PUOI./NO, NON PUOI.
MODALE SIGNIFICA CHE:
- Il verbo CAN è invariabile.
- E’ sempre seguito dal verbo in forma base.
