HOW TO FORM SENTENCES IN ITALIAN?
To form sentences we put words together in specific sequences. In most cases, in Italian word order is
flexible and a sentence is still grammatically correct even when we change the order of the words. However,
it’s good to be aware of word order in standard Italian so that we can be easily understood.
