Questions & Answers about Questo disegno è molto creativo, lo appendo sul muro.
What does the pronoun lo refer to in this sentence?
Lo is a direct object pronoun that replaces disegno (meaning drawing) in the sentence. Since disegno is masculine singular, lo is used to avoid repetition.
Why is the subject I omitted in lo appendo sul muro?
In Italian, subject pronouns are often omitted because the verb conjugation already makes the subject clear. Here, appendo is the first person singular form of appendere, implying (I) hang without needing to state io explicitly.
What is the meaning of the verb appendo?
Appendo is the present indicative, first person singular form of the verb appendere, which means to hang. It translates as I hang or I am hanging in English.
What does the contraction sul muro mean and how is it formed?
Sul muro means on the wall. It is formed by the contraction of su (meaning on) and il (meaning the) before muro (meaning wall).
Why is there a comma between Questo disegno è molto creativo and lo appendo sul muro?
The comma is used to separate two related yet distinct clauses. The first clause describes the drawing (Questo disegno è molto creativo), and the second clause states the speaker’s intention to hang it (lo appendo sul muro). This punctuation helps signal the shift from description to action.
