Questions & Answers about Questo famoso museo sarà progettato da un architetto straniero.
How do we form the passive voice in the future tense here?
We use the future tense of the auxiliary verb essere (to be), which is sarà for an 'it' subject, followed by the past participle of the main verb: progettato (designed). So, sarà progettato means 'will be designed'.
Does the past participle progettato agree with the museum or the architect?
Why is da used before un architetto straniero?
In the passive voice, the preposition da (by) is used to introduce the agent—the person or thing that is actually performing the action. Here, it is the word that connects the passive action to the person who will physically design the museum.
Why is famoso placed before museo, but straniero is placed after architetto?
Straniero (foreign) is a categorizing adjective that states an objective fact about origin, so it must go after the noun. Famoso (famous) is a descriptive adjective. While these usually follow the noun as well, common descriptive adjectives like famoso, bello, and nuovo are frequently placed before the noun for stylistic flair or emphasis.
