| followed by |
| comprerà, the future tense of the verb comprare, meaning "will buy," |
| next |
| un libro nuovo, meaning "a new book." |

| "Rosa will buy a new book." |

| next |
| a calcio, meaning "soccer," literally "at soccer," |
| followed by |
| dopo la scuola, meaning "after school." |

| Vedrai questo film domani. |
