Questions & Answers about I miei genitori si sono sposati a Milano.
Why is it si sono sposati and not si hanno sposati?
Why does sposati end in -i here?
Because reflexive verbs use essere as their helping verb, the past participle (the main action word, sposato) has to agree with the subject. Since I miei genitori (my parents) is masculine plural, sposato changes to sposati.
Where does the reflexive pronoun si go in a past tense sentence?
I thought we drop the article for family members. Why is it i miei genitori instead of just miei genitori?
