Questions & Answers about Il pedaggio sarà aumentato dal prossimo mese.

Why is sarà aumentato used instead of an active form like “someone will increase the toll”?

Italian often prefers a passive construction when the doer is either unknown, unimportant, or implied (for example, the highway authority). Passive is formed with the auxiliary essere in the desired tense plus the past participle. Here:

• sarà = future of essere
• aumentato = past participle of aumentare

This focuses on the fact that “the toll” changes, not on who exactly does it.

How do you form the future passive in Italian?

You need two steps:

1. Conjugate essere in the future tense (sarò, sarai, sarà, saremo, sarete, saranno).
2. Add the past participle of your main verb, making sure it agrees in gender and number with the subject.
   Example for pedaggio (masculine singular):
   “Il pedaggio sarà aumentato.”

Why is it dal prossimo mese rather than just da prossimo mese?

In Italian, when da is followed by the definite article il, they contract to dal. You need the article because you’re referring to one specific upcoming month.

• da + il prossimo mese → dal prossimo mese

Can I say a partire dal prossimo mese instead of ?
