Panoramica per lingua
Nella tua lingua madre
Auxiliaries such as avere and essere form compound tenses and passives.
Ha finito il lavoro.
She has finished the work.
Nella tua lingua di studio
L'inglese usa ausiliari per domande, negazioni, enfasi, tempi verbali, passivo e significati come possibilità o obbligo.
Do you understand?
do = ausiliare usato per formare la domanda
Chi studia spesso omette il do necessario in domande e negazioni, usa male be/have o mette più ausiliari nell'ordine sbagliato.
Same block, different coding
Both languages use this block strongly, but they signal it differently. Focus on form changes, not only meaning.
