Questions & Answers about Lei vorrà allenarsi in palestra?
Why is Lei translated as "you" instead of "she" in this sentence?
How do we form the future tense of volere (to want) in this sentence?
Volere is an irregular verb in the future tense. Instead of just dropping the final 'e', its stem changes completely to have a double 'r' (vorr-). To match the formal "you" (Lei), we add the third-person singular ending -à to get vorrà.
Why does allenarsi end in -si if the subject is "you"?
Because we are using the formal "you" (Lei), all pronouns must match the third-person singular. Allenarsi (to train) is a reflexive verb, so we drop the final 'e' from the infinitive and attach the third-person reflexive pronoun -si. If this were the informal "you" (tu), it would be allenarti.
Why do we say in palestra instead of alla palestra for "at the gym"?
