Questions & Answers about Ho letto il tuo curriculum e conosco la tua esperienza.
Why is conosco used here instead of so?
Conosco comes from conoscere, which means to be familiar with a person, place, or thing. Because the speaker is familiar with a noun (la tua esperienza), conosco is the right choice. You would use a form of sapere (like so) if you were stating a fact, such as saying you know THAT someone has experience.
I thought leggere (to read) was regular. Why is it ho letto and not ho leggito?
Leggere has an irregular past participle. Instead of following a predictable pattern, it becomes letto. Many common verbs ending in -ere behave this way in the passato prossimo tense, so their past participles just have to be memorized.
Why do we say il tuo curriculum instead of just tuo curriculum?
In Italian, possessive words like tuo (your) and mia (my) almost always need a definite article like il or la in front of them. You only drop the article for singular, close family members, like saying mio padre (my father).
