Questions & Answers about Hai fatto l'esame pratico all'autoscuola oggi?
Why does it use fatto instead of the Italian word for 'taken'?
Why use all'autoscuola instead of in autoscuola?
When talking about being at or going to a school, Italian uses the preposition a (as in a scuola). Since autoscuola starts with a vowel, it takes the definite article l', which combines with a to make the articulated preposition all'.
Is autoscuola a compound word?
Yes! It combines auto (car) and scuola (school) to mean 'driving school'. Since the base noun is scuola, the compound word remains feminine.
