Questions & Answers about Dopo aver controllato il meteo, lo sposo è ancora preoccupato.
Why does the sentence use aver controllato instead of a gerund like the English "checking"?
In English, we often use "after" with an "-ing" verb. In Italian, you cannot say dopo controllando. Instead, you must use dopo followed by the past infinitive (the infinitive of the helper verb plus the past participle). So, "after checking" correctly becomes dopo aver controllato.
Since this lesson is about sia che ... sia che, how would we say "Whether he checks the weather or not, the groom is still worried"?
Is meteo a masculine or feminine word, and does it have a plural form?
