Key Grammar Structures
-
Respiri piano per non far rumore
➔ Infinitive of Purpose (per + infinitive)
➔ Uses 'per non far rumore' (to not make noise) to express the purpose of the action.
-
Ti addormenti di sera e ti risvegli col sole
➔ Reflexive verbs (addormentarsi, risvegliarsi) and prepositional phrases indicating time (di sera, col sole)
➔ `Ti addormenti` uses the reflexive pronoun 'ti' indicating the subject is performing the action on themselves (falling asleep). 'Di sera' and 'col sole' are phrases using prepositions to indicate time.
-
Sei chiara come un'alba
➔ Simile (come + noun)
➔ Uses 'come un'alba' (like a dawn) to compare the subject's clarity to that of a dawn.
-
Diventi rossa se qualcuno ti guarda
➔ Conditional sentence (se + present indicative, present indicative)
➔ This is a type 0 conditional, expressing a general truth. 'Se qualcuno ti guarda' (if someone looks at you), 'diventi rossa' (you turn red).
-
Non metti mai niente che possa attirare attenzione
➔ Subjunctive in relative clauses (che possa)
➔ The subjunctive 'possa' is used because the relative clause 'che possa attirare attenzione' describes something indefinite or hypothetical.
-
Coi libri di scuola, ti piace studiare
➔ Use of 'piacere' (to like) with indirect object pronoun (ti) and infinitive (studiare)
➔ 'Ti piace studiare' literally translates to 'studying pleases you,' using the verb 'piacere' to express liking something. 'Ti' is the indirect object pronoun.
-
Non te ne devi vergognare
➔ Compound pronominal verb ('vergognarsi' - to be ashamed) with particle 'ne' and modal verb 'dovere'.
➔ 'Vergognarsi' is a reflexive verb meaning 'to be ashamed.' 'Te ne devi vergognare' means 'You shouldn't be ashamed of it.' 'Ne' refers to something previously mentioned or understood from the context.
