La traduzione, come metodo di esercizio nell’apprendimento di una lingua, farà sicuramente parte della vecchia scuola, però, inserita in un contesto più vario di apprendimento, soprattutto con feedback in tempo reale, può sempre essere un utile esercizio di allenamento.

Ecco la nuova frase:
Nessuna di queste camicie è stata stirata ancora e aspetto ancora la mia colazione!
Buon divertimento!

Nessuna di queste camicie è stata stirata ancora e aspetto ancora la mia colazione!
Not any of these shirts have been ironed yet and I’m still waiting for my breakfast!
I’m wondering if in the first part of the sentence, this construction works as well Tony:
Any of these shirts haven’t been ironed yet …..

No, Claudio, you really need to get the negative in at the beginning. However, the most typical form here is “None of these shirts…”

Hi Nadia. The second part is fine, but in the first part you need to think again about how to form that “present perfect passive”. Bear in mind also that “none” is already negative so your verb should be affirmative!

Very good, Dani.
Just one observation. Most of the time when ‘none’ is followed by a plural noun, we tend to use a plural verb. In this case we are considering ALL the shirts together. If you really want to emphasize the idea of “neanche una”, then a singular verb is of course the answer. However, in that case, I would tend to say “Not one of these shirts has been ironed yet”, thereby giving even more emphasis to the sentence.

Very good, Manu, but there’s no need for that “having” at the end. Just use “my”!

Hi Daniele.
The first part is fine, but you need to think again about the verb tense in the second part…
N.B. It is not a “duration form”.

Dear Teacher, is it possible to use no one instead of none? Thank you Marina

Hi Marina.
No, it’s not possible because “no one” refers specifically to people.
However, you can give more emphasis to the beginning by saying “Not one of these shirts…” (neanche una di queste camicie…). In that case you would be obliged to use a singular verb.

Hi Mirca. A good effort, but there are a number of problems with your version.
First of all, in the first part you need a present perfect passive and not a past simple passive because there is the idea of finora. Secondly, still in the first part, the verb you need for this kind of “stirare” is “to iron” (ferro).
In the second part there is another verb tense problem, probably due to the Italian original. The action here is “ongoing” in the present and so you should use a “present continuous” tense for the verb. Also, when you have “ancora” in an affirmative sentence you should use “still” (before the main verb) and not “yet”.
Now, with all this information, why don’t you have a think about it and try again?

Oh, and remember that we say “to wait FOR somebody/something”.
