Imparare come usare le preposizioni in italiano è una sfida che molti studenti non vincono mai. PERÒ spero di poter aiutarvi a capirle meglio.
Ecco cinque modi per usare la preposizione ‘in’ che sono super comuni e utili.
Sono IN ritardo di 5 minuti. - I’m 5 minutes late.
Ero IN anticipo. - I was early.
Sei andato/a IN pensione? - Are you retired?
Ci sono andato/a IN treno. - I went there by train.
Vado IN Italia tra un paio di settimane. - I’m going to Italy in a couple of weeks.
If you’ve been confused about how to use the preposition “in”, I hope these five examples help you start to sort through the mess.
Avete delle domande? Scrivetemi!
Un abbraccio,

PS. Did you know that “una vera chicca” means a “a true gem” in the sense, like “Questo ristorante è una vera chicca! - This restaurant is a true gem!” I love it. “Chicca” is maybe the cutest word ever.
