Ask, clarify and repair

Add the second grammar system and use it in controlled sentences.

Ask, clarify, and repair

Use a question word when you need one missing detail. Use a yes-or-no question to confirm information that you think you know.

When you correct yourself, say scusi or scusa, then give the corrected form. Clear repair is a normal part of communication.

  • Dove si trova il museo?· Where is the museum?
  • Quando parte il treno?· When does the train leave?
  • Quanto costa il biglietto?· How much does the ticket cost?
  • Quale autobus va in centro?· Which bus goes to the centre?

Controlled practice model

Build each sentence from meaning to form. Select the verb or function first, then check every linked ending and the position of small words.

  • Il treno parte alle otto?· Does the train leave at eight?
  • Ha detto binario quattro?· Did you say platform four?
  • Scusi, volevo dire martedì.· Sorry, I meant Tuesday.
  • No, non due: tre biglietti.· No, not two: three tickets.
