Italian Pronoun Exercises: Test Yourself in 8 Sentences
Italian Pronoun Exercises: Test Yourself in 8 Sentences
You have every set from Italian pronouns, explained with charts, and the part that stays slippery is choosing between two pronouns that look almost identical. These eight sentences are about exactly that.
The rule in one line per point
- The pronoun goes before the conjugated verb: Lo chiamo, not chiamo lo.
- Direct pronouns answer chi? or che cosa? with no preposition: lo, la, li, le.
- Indirect pronouns answer a chi?: gli, le, mi, ti.
- The indirect one comes first and changes shape: mi + lo gives me lo, gli + lo gives glielo.
- After a preposition, use the stressed form: per me, con te, secondo lui.
- ne stands in for a quantity, ci for everything else.
Try it yourself
Pick the pronoun that fits. You get the reason whether you are right or wrong, so a wrong click still teaches you something.
