Questions & Answers about Il treno oggi è in orario.
Why do we use in orario instead of translating "on time" literally?
In English we say "on time", but in Italian the set phrase is in orario. The word orario translates to "schedule" or "timetable", so you are literally saying the train is "in schedule" or "on schedule".
Can I change the position of oggi in this sentence?
How would I apply this lesson's grammar to say "Every train is on time today"?
What if the train is late instead of on time?
You would use the phrase in ritardo (delayed or late). Just like in orario, it uses the preposition in. The sentence would simply become: Il treno oggi è in ritardo.
