Italian Questions, Answers, and Explanations

1. Siamo appena tornati dalla Spagna dove _____ una vacanza stupenda!

   • Correct: abbiamo trascorso

   • Translation: "We’ve just returned from Spain where we spent a wonderful holiday!"

   • Explanation: "Abbiamo trascorso" (we spent) is the correct passato prossimo for spending time, not "abbiamo speso" (we spent money) or "siamo trascorsi" (not used; 'trascorrere' takes 'avere').

2. Sandra mi sta molto antipatica perché _____ tira troppo.

   • Correct: se la

   • Translation: "I really don't like Sandra because she is showing off too much."

   • Explanation: "Se la tira" means 'she shows off' (colloquial reflexive), not "me la" (makes no sense here) or "gliela" (wrong pronouns).

3. Quando prendete un bus o una metro _____ attenzione ai borseggiatori!

   • Correct: prestate

   • Translation: "When you take a bus or subway, pay attention to pickpockets!"

   • Explanation: "Prestare attenzione" is the idiomatic phrase for "pay attention." Not "date attenzione" (not idiomatic), or "pagate attenzione" (incorrect, attention can’t be paid literally).

4. _____ smetti di offrire sempre tu quando esci con i tuoi amici? Non puoi spendere tutti questi soldi!

   • Correct: Lo

   • Translation: "Do you ever stop always paying when you go out with your friends? You can't spend all this money!"

   • Explanation: Direct pronoun "Lo" stands for "Do you ever do it/stop doing it?" ("Lo smetti"), not "La" or "Le" (wrong gender/number).

5. Non avevamo i guanti, quindi _____ Paolo.

   • Correct: ce li ha prestati

   • Translation: "We didn't have gloves, so Paolo lent them to us."

   • Explanation: "Ce li ha prestati" = "lent them to us;" "me li ha prestato" = "lent them to me" (wrong person); "ce li ha prestato" (wrong agreement, 'guanti' is plural so 'prestati').

6. Vado a _____ mia nonna domani.

   • Correct: trovare

   • Translation: "I’m going to visit my grandmother tomorrow."

   • Explanation: For people, use "andare a trovare" ("visit" for people); "vedere" (just 'see'), "visitare" is for places not people.
