Hi friends, my lovely friends! How are you today? What are you doing? I’m ready to share another wonderful episode of Vincent Italian teacher.

Today I want to talk to you about the role of the subject in Italian. As we know in English is important to put the subject before the verb in every sentence so that the meaning of the sentence is completed. In other terms it’s a mistake to not put the subject. What about Italian language? Is it the same on that? No it’s not the same.

Especially in conversation Italian people are not used to putting on the subject in the sentence as we are talking to each other. Just for the sake of clarifying this rule I’m going to share 5 sentences: the first one will be completed with subject, the second one will be the typical expression that Italian people used (no subject) and the third one will be the translation in English. Please remember that the second sentence is the typical one that Italian people say during their daily conversations .

Don’t forget to practice even your reading as well as your speaking by using the transcription that I share every week.

Let’s go!

😎👉🏼 FOR YOUR PRACTICE:no subject no object - 5 sentences

Io penso di andare a mare oggi; penso di andare a mare oggi; I think I’ll go to the beach today2. io vedo che tu sei convinto di quello che dici; vedo che sei convinto di quello che dici; I see you are sure about what you are saying3. tu leggi molti libri durante la settimana?; leggi molti libri durante la settimana?; do you usually read many books during your week?4. Io voglio sapere se voi avete visto il mio amico Francesco ieri; voglio sapere se avete visto il mio amico Francesco ieri; I want to know if you saw my friend Francesco yesterday.5. Loro hanno pensato che noi non saremmo stati capaci di fare questo; hanno pensato che non saremmo stati capaci di fare questo; they thought we wouldn't be able to do this.
