    1. Very good, Roberta. Just a couple of observations.
      3) The continuous form is possible in this kind of sentence but it always gives the impression that the speaker is quite irritated. A more ‘neutral’ form would be the present simple for “habits”.
      5) A native speaker would almost certainly use “came into” or “went into” rather than “entered”.

      Il passato prossimo italiano ha una corrispondenza in Inglese ?

      1. Nel 8) c’è un chiaro e preciso riferimento temporale al passato che richiede il past simple. Il problema è che in italiano si usa il “passato prossimo” per tutto (praticamente) al passato dove in inglese si usa sia il “past simple” che il “present perfect: tutto dipende dal contesto temporale, “chiuso” (past simple) o “aperto” (present perfect.
