Questions & Answers about La domanda semplice è importante.
Why do we use la at the start of the sentence instead of il?
Because the noun domanda is feminine, so the article la is required rather than il.
Why is domanda feminine?
In Italian, nouns ending in -a are generally feminine. Domanda follows this pattern and thus is always treated as a feminine noun.
Why is semplice used instead of semplici?
Semplice is an adjective in its singular form. Even though domanda is feminine, semplice has the same form for both masculine and feminine in the singular. If it were plural (domande semplici), then semplici would be used.
Why is the verb è used in this sentence?
È is the third-person singular present tense of essere ("to be"), corresponding to "is" in English. It matches the singular subject la domanda semplice.
Does the adjective importante change for feminine or masculine nouns?
No. Like semplice, importante is an adjective that has the same form for both masculine and feminine nouns in its singular form. It would only change in the plural (e.g., importanti).
