We’re back with another episode of Coffee Break Italian! This time, Mark and Francesca are looking at the formal imperative and its negative and irregular form. We see this grammar point in context with a dialogue between a Scottish tourist and a local who provides directions to the Museum of Modern Art. Listen out for some useful vocabulary in this episode including the words: cartina, proseguire and semaforo.
CBI 3.12 | Formal and irregular imperative | Alla scoperta della città
