Questions & Answers about Devi andare alla stazione.
Why is it andare and not vai?
Devi is a modal verb meaning 'you have to' or 'you must'. When you have a modal verb followed by another action, the second verb always stays in its infinitive (unconjugated) form. So, it is devi andare (you have to go), just like in English!
Where is the word for 'you' in this sentence?
How is the word alla formed?
Alla is a combination of the preposition a (to) and the feminine singular word for 'the', which is la. Because we are saying 'to the station', a and la combine into one word: alla.
The word stazione ends in -e. How can I tell if it is masculine or feminine?
