Questions & Answers about La loro astronave atterrerà su Marte domani.
Why is the stem atterrer- with an "e" if the verb is atterrare?
For regular -are verbs like atterrare (to land), the a in the infinitive ending changes to an e when forming the future tense stem. Then you add the future ending. Since l'astronave is an "it" (third-person singular), we add -à to make atterrerà.
Why does atterrerà have an accent mark on the last letter?
In the Italian future tense, the forms for "I" (ending in -ò) and "he/she/it" (ending in -à) always have a written accent. This reminds you to stress that very last syllable when speaking.
Why do we say la loro instead of just loro?
Why is it just su Marte and not sul Marte?
