Questions & Answers about Prima dell'annuncio della partenza, le donne saranno salite sul treno.
Why does this sentence use saranno (from essere) instead of avranno (from avere) for "will have"?
The verb salire (to go up / to get on) is a verb of motion. Just like in the passato prossimo (present perfect), verbs of direct motion take essere as their helping verb. To form the futuro anteriore (future perfect), we use the future tense of essere (saranno) plus the past participle.
Why is the past participle salite instead of salito?
Why is it dell'annuncio and not just di annuncio?
The phrase for "before" is prima di. In Italian, you generally need the definite article before a specific noun like annuncio (the announcement). When the preposition di meets the article l' (used for singular words starting with a vowel), they combine into the single word dell'.
Why do we say sul treno instead of nel treno for getting "on" the train?
