Questions & Answers about Sono lieto di portare le posate e versare l'acqua.
Why do we use di instead of a after lieto?
Adjectives that express emotions, feelings, or personal states (like lieto, felice, contento, or triste) generally require the preposition di when followed by an infinitive verb like portare.
Why isn't there another di before versare?
When two infinitive verbs are joined by e (and), you usually don't need to repeat the preposition. The di before portare automatically applies to versare as well.
I usually use felice or contento for "happy" or "glad". When should I use lieto?
Why is le posate plural when the English translation says "the cutlery"?
