Do you know how to describe past habits or continuous situations in Italian? You'll learn how in just a moment.
Hi, my name is Felice, and this is Three Step Italian by ItalianPod101.com.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to describe past habits or continuous situations in Italian through a quick conversation.
Let's look at the dialogue.
As you listen, pay attention to how they talk about the past and describe what life used to be like.
Questo sei tu da giovane? Che bel ragazzo!
Eh sì, ero molto bello. Avevo ventidue anni. Ero uno studente dell'università. Andavo tutti i giorni in palestra.
Tutti i giorni?
Sì, tutti i giorni. Avevo già il sogno di aprire la mia palestra.
Let's hear it with the English translation.
Questo sei tu da giovane? Che bel ragazzo!
"Is this you when you were young? What a handsome guy!"
Pay attention to the next paragraph. The sentences follow the key speaking pattern you'll learn later in this lesson.
Eh sì, ero molto bello. Avevo ventidue anni. Ero uno studente dell'università. Andavo tutti i giorni in palestra.
"Oh yes, I was very handsome. I was twenty-two years old. I was a university student. I used to go to the gym every day."
Tutti i giorni?
"Every day?"
Sì, tutti i giorni. Avevo già il sogno di aprire la mia palestra.
"Yes, every day. I already had the dream of opening my own gym."
