Take this Italian preposition test! In this quiz, you'll have to choose the correct preposition from 3 options. Which Italian preposition should we use in this sentence? "Sei in ritardo ... 20 minuti". I'll give you a few moments! You can choose between: "con", "per", "di". Which is the correct preposition? In this sentence, you should use the preposition "di". "Sei in ritardo di 20 minuti". You can't use the prepositions "con" or "per". "Ho invitato Tania ... cena". Which preposition should you use in this sentence? You can choose between: the preposition "con", the preposition "a" and the articulated preposition "nella". Which word is correct? The right preposition is "a". So: "Ho invitato Tania a cena". You can't use the preposition "con". You can't say: "Ho invitato Tania con cena". Similarly, you can't use the articulated preposition "nella". You can't say: "Ho invitato Tania nella cena". In Italian, the correct phrase is: "invitare qualcuno a cena". When talking in general, you should say that. If you're talking about a specific dinner, you could say, for example: "Ho invitato Tania alla cena di venerdì". "Martedì devo andare ... medico". "Medico" means doctor. Which simple or compound preposition should you use in this sentence? You can choose between: the articulated preposition "dal", the articulated preposition "al" and the simple preposition "a". In this sentence, you should use the articulated preposition "dal". "Martedì devo andare dal medico". "Vai ... pagina 12". Which word is missing? You can choose between: the preposition "in", the preposition "su" and the preposition "a". If you've chosen "a", congratulations! In this sentence, you should use the preposition "a". In Italian, we say: "andare a pagina 12". If we have a page number, in Italian we say: "andare a pagina" and next we say the number. "La biblioteca è aperta ... 9 ... 13". Which simple or articulated prepositions should you use in this sentence? You can choose between: "da 9 a 13", "dalle 9 alle 13", or "dalle 9 per le 13". Which is the right answer? The right answer is: "La biblioteca è aperta dalle 9 alle 13". In this sentence, you should use two articulated prepositions. Specifically, the preposition "dalle" indicates the start and the preposition "alle" indicates the end. "Roberto abita ... Roma". This sentence is super easy, so I don't think you'll have any trouble. Which preposition should you use in this sentence? You can choose between these prepositions: "in", "a", and the articulated preposition "alla". In this sentence, you should use the preposition "a". So the correct sentence is: "Roberto abita a Roma". With city names, we use the preposition "a". "Quest'estate andrò in vacanza ... mare". Which Italian preposition should you use? You can choose between: "allo", "al", "a". In your opinion, which is the correct preposition? In this case, you should use the articulated preposition "al". "Quest'estate andrò in vacanza al mare". "Ho acceso il televisore ... telecomando". Which is the right preposition? You can choose between: "col telecomando", "con telecomando", "con lo telecomando". The correct form is: "col telecomando". In particular, "col" is an articulated preposition derived from the fusion of "con" and "il". Instead of saying "con il", you can say "col". Clearly, you can't say "con lo telecomando", because in any case with the noun "telecomando" we use the article "il", we don't use the article "lo". Similarly, you can't say "con telecomando" without article, because that phrase would be ungrammatical. "Sto andando ... parco". Which is the right preposition? You can choose between: "a parco", "in parco", "al parco". In Italian we say: "Sto andando al parco". In this sentence, you can't use the simple prepositions "a" or "in". The sentences "Sto andando a parco" and "Sto andando in parco" are both ungrammatical. This is a grammar error fair and square. The correct sentence is: "Sto andando al parco". In theory, you could also say "Sto andando nel parco", so, if you replied this way, it's fine. "Mi piace il gelato ... cioccolato". Which preposition should you use in this sentence? You can choose between: "col cioccolato", "al cioccolato", "dal cioccolato". "Col cioccolato" is a contraction of "con il cioccolato". Which is the right preposition? The right preposition is "al". In Italian, we say: "gelato al cioccolato". It means: chocolate-flavoured ice cream, ice cream made with chocolate. If you say "gelato col cioccolato", it seems that you mean ice cream with chocolate on top of it. "Questa spugna la uso ... lavare i piatti". Which is the right preposition? You can choose between: "del", "con", "per". The right answer is "per". "Questa spugna la uso per lavare i piatti". To indicate a goal, in Italian we use the preposition "per". Namely, "per" plus the verb infinitive. To get access to all the episodes and extra content, join the exclusive club: / italianoconluca
