little more complex So pay
attention to the preposition

easy but the preposition of In fact
there are five prepositions that
can be combined with
the article I will show you how they
can be combined with the article and then
when you use them don't be scared of
this scheme plus the article il
we have of So if we have the

boys of the boys more of the
wardrobes of the wardrobes plus the of the

apostrophe of the wardrobe of the wardrobe
now when you use
articulated prepositions it is better to say when you use the
articulated preposition of the first case of who is this
dog is the boy's the boy's dog
or the girl's dog here but we do
n't have a girl we have a
boy
I have a cat whose cat's name is
the cat's name is
Roni so the name of who the name of the
cat is, be careful, the girl's bag
is on the table because the bag belongs to
the girl, the dog belongs to the
boy, so the girl's bag,
second case when we use the
preposition of articulated what are we
talking about? Let's talk about
articulated prepositions, what are we talking about? Let's talk about the
girl's bag, it's strange but it
works like this. What are we talking about, we're talking about I do
n't know about Italian cities and so
on. Second preposition
in plus the article the
in the glass in the glass plus
the article lo in the space in the
space
plus the article la in the bag in the bag
plus the in the glasses In the glasses plus in the in the wardrobes.
Sorry in the wardrobes in the in the
bags in the bags plus the apostrophe
in the wardrobe in the wardrobe I put the diary
in the bag inside the bag I put
the diary so it's inside the bag or
in the
bag I put the water in the glass so that
's how you use the preposition
in Where are the clothes, they're in the wardrobe,
that is, inside the wardrobe in the wardrobe
now another preposition on on plus the on the table on the
table on plus
the article lo on the sport on the sport
on plus the article the on the The chair
on the chair on plus the article i on the
tables on the tables on plus the article li
on the wardrobes on the wardrobes on plus the on the the
chairs and on plus the
apostrophe on the wardrobe on the
wardrobe Now let's see when to use the
preposition on where the bag is on the
table on the table on the table where
the bag is on the
chair Because we have the bag and then
the table Sorry on the table the chair
on the chair you
simply have to combine the preposition
and the article of the
noun I want to buy a book
on history second case when using
the preposition on I read a book about
dogs I read an article about dogs a
newspaper about dogs and so on newspaper
about dogs a bit strange so the
new verb is to read I read a book about dogs
another preposition from from plus the from the
dentist from the dentist from from
we have the stadium from the stadium from a from the
school from the school from i from the colleagues
from the colleagues W From the friends
from the friends from plus the from the girls
from the girls from plus the apostrophe from the
friend from the
friend when using the preposition from I
open a parenthesis It is clear that you must
know the article very well so if
you don't remember the article well Try
to review this lesson first case
when the preposition from is used Where are you from I
come from the dentist because we have
the dentist and then from plus the from I come
from the dentist or I come from work because
we have the job from plus the from I come from
work or I come from the bar I come from the
stadium Why do we say the stadium And then
give or give
and be careful The second case in which
the preposition from is used Who do you go to I
go to the dentist is a bit strange I know
when you give from a person I go to the
dentist I go to the psychologist because the
psychologist obviously is a person let's say
the psychologist from plus the from I go to the
psychologist I go to Marta's friends here
obviously we have a name so it
cannot be articulated I go to Marta's it
cannot be articulated I repeat being a
noun another preposition a a plus the to the
dentist to the dentist to plus the to the
student to the student to plus the to the
school to the school to plus the to the
colleagues to the colleagues to plus them to the
we have friends then to the friends to
plus the to the girls to the girls and a
plus the apostrophe al l'amica al amica
when using the preposition
a uno Who are you writing to I'm writing to Marta I'm writing
to Marta I'm writing to Luigi who are you giving
flowers to I'm giving flowers to the girl to the
girl the new verb is regalare Ok don't be
scared because then Let's go over
everything again second case when you go to a
place I go to the supermarket I go to the bar I
go to the beach if you
remember And now let's go over everything again
When using prepositions
D the girl's house I said the house
belongs to the girl it's hers so the girl
's house whose is the
girl's house I repeat the
boy's laptop Whose is the boy's laptop
No because the laptop
belongs to the boy whose is it I've already
written I repeat the boy's second case
when using the preposition di what are
we talking about Let's talk about the Italian language
what are we talking about Let's talk about my cat let's talk about the
weather in Italy and so on
the preposition da vengo dal lavoro
where do I come from I come from a place or
a person then you use the
preposition da second case but when I
go to a person I know it's strange but it's like
that I go to the
psychologist I'm at the psychologist you can
say I'm going or I'm at a person's place I'm going to
Maria's here since it's a noun it can't be
articulated I'm at Maria's where are you I'm
at Luigi's or I'm going to Luigi's
up it's easy here the bag is on the table that is on the table The
bag is on the chair so where the bag on something
on the table on the chair or I'm reading a
book about dogs we have a book about something an
article about something A a document about something and so on I write
an article about
cats what is the book or the article the
text about something so you use the
articulated preposition on Ah so when you go to a
place I go to the supermarket it's easy I go
to a place not to a person I
wrote because otherwise we use the
preposition from I go to Marta's but I go to the
supermarket second case I write to the
boy who I write to the boy and the
preposition in the water is in the glass
so Where is the water in the glass
inside the glass or the book is in the
bag
