Questions & Answers about Scrivo il mio nome completo sul modulo.
Why is there an il before mio nome? Doesn't that mean "the my name"?
How is the word sul formed?
Sul is a combined preposition. It is made by merging the preposition su (on) with the definite article il (the). Because modulo (form) is a masculine singular noun that starts with a normal consonant, it takes the article il, resulting in su + il = sul.
Why does completo come after nome instead of before it?
Unlike in English, most descriptive adjectives in Italian are placed after the noun they modify. Therefore, "complete name" becomes nome completo.
How would I formally tell someone "Write it on the form!" using this lesson's grammar?
You would use the formal imperative of scrivere, which is scriva, and the direct object pronoun lo (it, replacing "the name"). With formal commands, clitic pronouns must go before the verb. So you would say: Lo scriva sul modulo! (Write it on the form!).
