Good morning and here’s another pronoun fix for all you Italian grammar addicts out there!
Today, ‘i pronomi relativi‘.
What are they?
Easy.
Your uncle = ‘he’, your cousins = ‘they’, your grandmother = ‘she’, and so on.
Nah… Only joking. Those, of course, are ‘subject pronouns’.
Relative pronouns (in English) are words like ‘who’, ‘which’ & ‘that’ which allow us to refer back to a someone already mentioned.
‘The cardiologist who treated me is a friend of my wife’s’ – that sort of thing.
How does that work in Italian?
It’s not so hard. Find out with today’s ‘grammar listening’ – click here.
P.S.
Have you listened to the others in our pronouns series? Find them on our B1(intermediate) Italian exercises page.
Or try the simpler ‘La grammatica ascoltata’ listenings on the A1 and A2 pages.
P.P.S.
Every time we have an offer on e-books for learning Italian, someone aways writes to ask: “When will my e-book arrive?”
It’s a reasonable question, if you’re used to buying physical things and waiting for them to be posted out to you.
But with our system, you should receive a confirmation e-mail with your download link WITHIN SECONDS of completing your payment.
If you don’t see it, check you spam folder. A lot of anti-spam programs are over-zealous when it comes to protecting you.
And of course, if you have any doubts or problems, you can just e-mail me and I’ll get right back to you (unless it’s the middle of the night in Italy…)
By the way, this, and other, frequent questions are dealt with in our FAQ. Take a look. Everything you wanted to know about OnlineItalianClub.com but were too polite to ask can be found here.
