Today’s lesson is not only for all you Italian learners, but for all you males. Did you know that a lady doesn’t just wake up in the morning looking beautiful? Here’s a tip: If you want your female friend to look nice for your evening out, you’ll need to leave her time to get ready. Don’t just book a table for half an hour later, tell your girlfriend to get ready, slip on some jeans and hope that she’s ready to go. Manuel understands this, and has thought ahead; we hope you can too.
In today’s lesson, we will review the Italian periodo ipotetico, the theoretical functioning of its three main types, along with their tense agreement structure. Moreover, we will provide you with useful usage notes and learning tips. For more grammar explanations, review questions, and advanced lessons, visit ItalianPod101.com now!
