Questions & Answers about Dopo che avrò rimosso la vernice, carteggerò ogni graffio.
Why do we use the future tense avrò rimosso here when English just says 'After I have removed'?
In Italian, when you have a future action (carteggerò) that happens after another future action is finished, the completed action must use the futuro anteriore (future perfect). English often uses the present or present perfect here, but Italian is strict about showing that both events happen in the future.
What is the infinitive of rimosso, and is it irregular?
The infinitive is rimuovere (to remove). Like its root verb muovere (to move), it has an irregular past participle. Instead of a standard ending, it changes to rimosso.
Why is the future tense spelled carteggerò and not carteggierò?
The verb is carteggiare (to sand). For verbs ending in -ciare and -giare, you drop the i when forming the future tense. This is because the i was only there to keep the g sound soft in the infinitive, and the e in the future ending already does that perfectly.
Could I just say dopo avrò rimosso instead of dopo che?
