Questions & Answers about Il corso inizia domani.
Why are we using the present tense (inizia) if the action happens tomorrow?
In Italian, just like in English, you can use the present tense for scheduled events in the future. Saying Il corso inizia domani (The course starts tomorrow) is perfectly natural and very common.
How would I change this sentence to say 'The course MUST start tomorrow' using the new verb we are learning?
What is the infinitive form of the verb inizia?
The infinitive is iniziare (to start or to begin). It is a regular -are verb. Here, we drop the -are and add -a for the 'he/she/it' form because il corso acts as an 'it'.
