compito 4

Choose 10 -IRE verbs (strong) and 10 -IRE verbs (weak)
Use them in sentences (total 20) that follow this model:
IO AMO .............pulire la casa
IO AMO .........(to follow the wind)
IO AMO ...... (to punish criminals)

You can change IO AMO to something like : THE JUDGE LOVES TO PUNISH CRIMINALS
The more creative the better BUT make sure you do it correctly.
Look at the model carefully: "IO AMO" (main clause) is followed by a verb in the INFINITIVE FORM.
IO AMO ...... MA IO DETESTO.... (I like/love .... but I hate/detest)
After the main clause "IO AMO" you can use a NOUN = io amo il gelato
Or you can use a verb = io amo correre
Same with DETESTARE: "IO DETESTO" la trippa or "IO DETESTO" aspettare

NOW COMBINE AMARE AND DETESTARE IN A SINGLE SENTENCE THAT MAKES SENSE:
MODELS:
Io amo la pizza ma detesto la trippa
Io amo correre ma detesto nuotare
WRITE a total of 10 sentences like the models above. The opposition BUT must make sense. Don't throw down the first thing that comes to mind. Squeeze your brain
