Questions & Answers about Ormai sono adulto e lavoro.
What exactly does ormai mean here, and how is it different from già?
Why does the sentence say sono adulto instead of sono un adulto?
Just like with professions (for example, sono medico for "I am a doctor"), Italian often drops the indefinite article (un or una) after the verb essere when stating a category you belong to, like a stage of life. You can also simply think of adulto here as an adjective meaning "grown-up."
Wait, isn't lavoro a noun meaning "job" or "work"?
How would I use this lesson's time prepositions to say "I have been working since I became an adult"?
