15 CardsLesson#1
When you use a direct object pronoun like 'lo', 'la', 'li', or 'le' before the 'passato prossimo', there's a special rule: the past participle must agree in gender and number with the pronoun. Let's see how this works.
Lesson#2
First, let's look at the singular pronouns 'lo' (masculine) and 'la' (feminine). Before a vowel, like in 'ho' or 'ha', they both contract to L apostrophe. The past participle then ends in 'o' for masculine nouns, or 'a' for feminine nouns. For example, 'Hai visto il film?' becomes 'Sì, l'ho visto.' But 'Hai visto la partita?' becomes 'Sì, l'ho vista.'
Quiz#3
Translate into Italian: 'I saw it', where 'it' refers to a masculine singular noun.
