Questions & Answers about L’insegnante prepara una nuova lezione ogni settimana, così possiamo suonare meglio.
Why is the article l’ used in l’insegnante instead of il?
In Italian, the definite articles il or la often become l’ before a word that starts with a vowel. Insegnante starts with the vowel i, so il insegnante becomes l’insegnante. This elision makes the sentence flow better and is required by standard grammar.
Why do we use prepara in the third-person singular?
We are talking about a single person, l’insegnante (the teacher), so we use the third-person singular. The full conjugation of the verb preparare in the present tense is:
- io preparo
- tu prepari
- lui/lei/Lei prepara
- noi prepariamo
- voi preparate
- loro preparano
Why is it una nuova lezione and not un nuovo lezione?
Because lezione is a feminine noun in Italian. That’s why it takes the feminine article una and the feminine form of the adjective nuova. If the noun were masculine, we would use un and nuovo accordingly.
What is the function of così in this sentence?
Here, così connects two parts of the sentence to show purpose or consequence. It’s similar to saying so that or in order that in English. The teacher prepares a new lesson every week, so (così) we can play better.
When do I use meglio vs. migliore?
Meglio is an adverb meaning better in terms of how you do something (e.g., play better, speak better). Migliore is an adjective meaning better when describing a noun (e.g., the better option, the better teacher). In this sentence, meglio modifies the verb suonare (to play), so it’s the correct choice.
