Questions & Answers about Sto leggendo le istruzioni. Leggile con me!
Why is le attached to the end of leggile?
Does the command form leggi look exactly like the present tense "you read"?
Yes! For regular verbs ending in -ere like leggere (to read), the informal command (the imperative) is exactly the same as the normal present tense tu form.
Why do we use the pronoun le for "them" here?
Le is the feminine plural direct object pronoun. We use it here because it replaces le istruzioni (the instructions), which is a feminine plural noun.
Why use Sto leggendo instead of just Leggo for "I am reading"?
Why does the sentence use con me instead of con mi?
