Questions & Answers about Lei vorrà perdere peso con una dieta sana.
Why is the future tense of volere spelled with a double R in vorrà?
Volere (to want) is one of a few irregular verbs in the future tense that drop a vowel and gain a double R. Instead of following the regular pattern which would make it volerà, the stem changes to vorr-. You then add the standard third-person singular ending -à to get vorrà (she will want).
Why is perdere in the infinitive form here?
Volere acts as a modal verb, which is a helper verb that expresses a want, need, or ability. When you have a conjugated modal verb followed by an action, the second verb is not conjugated. That is why perdere (to lose) stays in its infinitive dictionary form.
Does dieta mean a weight-loss diet or just what someone eats?
Why does the adjective sana come after the noun dieta?
In Italian, descriptive adjectives like sana (healthy) usually come right after the noun they describe. It also ends in -a to match the feminine singular noun dieta.
