Questions & Answers about Marco inventa una soluzione.

Why is there no subject pronoun before inventa? Shouldn’t it say lui inventa?

In Italian, subject pronouns are often left out because the verb ending already shows who the subject is.

• invento = I invent
• inventi = you invent
• inventa = he/she invents

So Marco inventa is completely natural, and Marco already tells you who the subject is.

You could say lui inventa, but that would usually add emphasis, such as contrast:

• Marco inventa una soluzione, non Paolo.
  Marco comes up with a solution, not Paolo.
