Dear teacher: I’m sorry, but I haven’t done my homework. Before you punish me, please listen. I have an excuse. Now, I won’t lie to you, my dog didn’t eat it. My house hasn’t burnt down. I wasn’t taken to the emergency room with an acute disease that affected my ability to complete homework assignments. You see, you wrote our homework questions entirely in Italian. I can’t be expected to answer questions written in Italian, can I? So that’s why I didn’t do my homework.
Dear student: You didn’t listen when I explained in class, did you? Your homework is to sign up for a free 7 day trial at ItalianPod101.com, then answer the questions. Detention for you!

Don’t miss out! Keep your ears tuned as we have three dialogs in order to better explain the usage of the passato prossimo! and for more Italian language learning material, exercises, grammar, and the accompanying PDF, visit ItalianPod101.com! Learning at italianpod101.com is really fun!
