Questions & Answers about I pedoni camminano sul marciapiede.

In Italian, prepositions like su (on) combine with the definite article that follows them. Because "sidewalk" is masculine (il marciapiede), you combine su and il to make the combined word sul (on the).
Marciapiede ends in -e. How do I know it is a masculine noun?
What is the singular form of i pedoni?
How would I use the new lesson word bisogna to say "One must walk on the sidewalk"?
