Questions & Answers about I suoi complici hanno organizzato il ricatto e il furto.
How would I change this sentence to express a rhetorical doubt, like 'Could his accomplices have organized the blackmail?', using the grammar from this lesson?
To express doubt or a rhetorical question, you can use che followed by the subjunctive. Since the original action is in the past, you would use the past subjunctive (congiuntivo passato): Che i suoi complici abbiano organizzato il ricatto e il furto?
The word complici ends in -i. Is the singular form masculine or feminine?
The singular noun complice (accomplice) can be either masculine (il complice) or feminine (la complice). In this sentence, we know it is masculine plural because of the masculine plural article and possessive adjective: i suoi. If it were an all-female group of accomplices, it would be le sue complici.
What are the verbs associated with the nouns ricatto (blackmail) and furto (theft)?
Is there a difference in Italian between furto and rapina?
Yes, and the distinction is similar to English. Furto translates to 'theft' or 'stealing', which is secretly taking someone's property. Rapina translates to 'robbery', which involves taking something by force or threat of violence.
