Elaborations

learning how to use:

- nouns — irregular plurals (for example, la città/le città, il dito/le dita), and collective nouns, for example, la gente
- pronouns — possessive, reflexive, demonstrative and relative
- comparatives and superlatives (regular and irregular) to make descriptions more precise, for example, Il film è piu bello del romanzo; è bellissimo
- adverbs of time and manner, for example, ieri, di solito
- prepositions (articulated or simple) to indicate destinations and directions, for example, in Italia, a Roma, al parco
- interrogatives, for example, Chi …? Quando …? Come…?
- verbs indicating action in the present (including irregular verbs and reflexives) and action across time: present perfect; imperfect; exposure to the future and conditional tenses and impersonal si; use of modals to indicate ability/willingness/necessity
- compound sentences (for example, Mi piace la pizza ma preferisco le lasagne), and complex sentences, for example, La città che ho visitato era bellissima
