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:
Credo che non vorrà che lo sappiano i suoi genitori.
Buon divertimento!
Puoi esercitarti quanto vuoiQUI

A good effort, Jessica, and correct, but it would sound more natural in English to make the first verb negative and the second verb affirmative. We tend to put the negative element at the beginning in most sentences.

Ok thanks! So it becomes:

Very good, Luigi, but there’s no need for that “it” at the end of the English version.
If you really want to include an object then it would probably be better to say “about it”. 🙂

Perfect! Now I figure out! (Can i use “figure out”= understand?)
LikeLike
Not here, Luigi, because you can only use “figure out” when it is the subject of the verb who does the resolving. So if you say, “I have finally figured it out,” then what you are saying is that you personally managed to resolve the problem.

Thanks, i will try to put this phrasal verb in another sentence. I don’t know if I really understood.

Perhaps you need to think of “figure out” as “resolve a problem” and not “understand”. That might help you to use it correctly.

For example:
I figured out how to fix the engine of my car.

Is it ok?

Yes, those examples are fine, Luigi. You can also use the interrogative form obviously:
“Have you figured out how it works?”

Hi Anita, just a simple “will want”. I don’t know why, but for some reason people seem to be afraid of putting “will” with “want”! 😂
N.B. “about that” isn’t really necessary. You can use “know” without any form of object.
LikeLike
You’re right, Teacher, I was afraid because actually I’ve never heard it and sounds unnatural to my ears.
I need to get used to it and practice a lot.
Thank you, teacher, happy week end 😁

It’s not that common, Anita, but there’s nothing wrong with it.
e.g. “He will want a hot drink when he gets back from his trip.”

A good effort, Dani. I would definitely use “want” and not “like” which changes the meaning.
Why “their” parents?
N.B. You don’t need “it” at the end.

I don’t think he will want his parents to know.
I translated literally ” saperlo ” with “know it” . Not easy to remember this for me.
If I recall, there are cases where”volere” is translated differently. ( something as “wish” ). I got confused.
Thanks so much, Prof.

Try again, but this time start with the negative (it’s more natural here), then use the future (as in Italian), and simplify the ending.

Hi Gaetano.
Ne ho parlato in passato, Luca, ma forse prima del tuo arrivo sul sito. La formula più tipica qui è quella di mettere l’elemento negativo subito all’inizio della frase. In questi caso significa cominciare con “Non penso/credo che…” Dopodiché, ovviamente, si va avanti con la forma affermativa.
Have a look here too: https://ingliando.net/2013/10/17/do-you-want-me-to-start-posting-again/
N.B. “It” alla fine non serve.
Now try again! 🙂

L’ultimo verbo, invece, dev’essere un’infinito completo: “to know” e non richiede nessun complemento.
Try again now!
