Questions & Answers about Senza connessione non possiamo lavorare online.
Why is there no word for "a" before connessione?
After the preposition senza (without), Italian typically drops the indefinite article (un, una) when referring to a broad or general noun. You usually only include the article if you add an adjective to describe the noun, such as senza una connessione veloce (without a fast connection).
Why is lavorare in its infinitive form instead of being conjugated for "we"?
It follows possiamo, which is a modal verb (from potere, meaning "to be able to"). Whenever a conjugated modal verb is used to "help" another action, that second action verb must remain in its infinitive (dictionary) form.
Does the English loanword online change its spelling if it refers to something plural?
Why does non go immediately before possiamo?
