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.
Consiglio una partecipazione attiva e visibile postando la tua versione tra i commenti in fondo a questa pagina. In questo modo riceverai un mio commento o suggerimento in tempo più o meno reale. Ma per chi non se la sente, si può semplicemente annotare la propria versione e controllarla attraverso i miei commenti lasciati per gli altri.
Ecco la nuova frase:
Le chiavi di riserva per la porta sul retro non sono ancora state ordinate?
Buon divertimento!

I think the second version is more typical, Roby, but I would say ‘for’ the back door.
The ‘back door spare keys’ is possible, but perhaps a little clumsy for immediate comprehension.

What you need here, Luca, is a ‘present perfect passive’. It’s correct to start with the negative auxiliary, but it should be ‘haven’t’…
Bear in mind:
extra ❎ (potrebbe anche andare ma meglio ‘spare’ in questo contesto).
‘THE’ back door.
Try again?

Ci sei quasi! Ti è rimasto quel ‘doppio negativo’ che non ci sta e ti manca il ‘been’ della forma passiva.
N.B. ‘yet’ alla fine.
Have a last try! 🙂

Tra le due versioni che hai postato, la prima è decisamente meglio come frase interrogativa (la seconda è semplicemente una frase negativa). Il problema qui è il tempo del verbo che non dovrebbe essere al presente passivo (anche se comprensibile) ma al present perfect passivo che è un po’ più complesso.

You start off well, Anita, with the negative interrogative. Think again about that preposition ‘of’…
At the end, try using the verb ‘to order’ in the passive form.

Is it better, Teacher?
But in this case couldn’t the question sound like: booked? Like: new keys ordered on the internet?
Sorry, I’m asking that because I prefer non to check the dictionary, so that I learn better 😁

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘booked’ Anita. The idea here was exactly one of requesting spare keys, and not one of ‘putting the keys in order’. Maybe this is what confused you? But my original sentence in Italian was ‘ordinato’ and not ‘messe in ordine’.
However, the final form of the verb should be, ‘Haven’t……..been ordered yet?’ You need ‘been’ to complete the passive form.

Not bad, Dino, but you need to start with the negative auxiliary and ‘spare keys’ needs a definite article. Have another shot at it. 🙂

You’re trying to create a nominal group like this, I think: “back door spare keys” (senza ‘s’ su ‘door’ e con ‘s’ su ‘keys’). The idea is good, and possible, and comprehensible, but I think I would go for a simpler, “the spare keys for the back door” version. Your choice. 🙂

Got it, Tony.
