Questions & Answers about Preferiamo guardare un film romantico che studiare.
Why do we use che here instead of di?
The English translation says "watching" and "studying", but the Italian uses the infinitives guardare and studiare. Why?
In English, we often use the "-ing" form of a verb when talking about an activity as a general concept. In Italian, you cannot use the "-ing" equivalent for this; you must use the infinitive (the base dictionary form ending in -are, -ere, or -ire).
Preferire is a verb that usually adds -isc-, like in io preferisco. Why is it missing in preferiamo?
Why does romantico come after ?
