Questions & Answers about Sarò il capo della mia azienda.
Why does the verb essere become sarò here?
Sarò is the future tense of essere (to be) for the io (I) form. Essere is irregular in the future tense: instead of using its infinitive as a base, it uses the special stem sar-. Then, it takes the standard future ending -ò, making sarò (I will be).
Why is it della mia azienda instead of just di mia azienda?
In Italian, possessive adjectives like mia (my) almost always need a definite article before them. Here, the phrase needs the word la (the). When the preposition di (of) meets la, they combine into the single word della.
Don't we sometimes drop the article before words like mia or mio?
You only drop the definite article before a possessive when you are talking about singular family members, like mio fratello (my brother). Since an azienda (company) is not a family member, the normal rule applies and the article is required.
