1) Listen to the following dialogue:<\/h3>\n
\n
TEMPO LIBERO (Talking about free time)<\/h5>\n

Giorgia:<\/strong>\u00a0Veronica, cosa fai nel tempo libero?
\nVeronica:<\/strong>\u00a0Io amo leggere e disegnare.
\nGiorgia:<\/strong>\u00a0Anche io leggo molti libri, ma preferisco fare sport. Manuela, a te cosa piace fare nel tempo libero?
\nManuela:<\/strong>\u00a0Io preferisco guardare un film con le amiche o cucinare.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2) Adverbs of frequency.<\/h3>\n

To refer to the frequency of an action, we can use an adverb of frequency. We can use adverbs of frequency when we talk about how we spend our free time:<\/p>\n

Leggo molto spesso<\/span>. (I read very often.)
\nFaccio sport\u00a0ogni tanto<\/span>. (I do sport from time to time.)
\nRaramente\u00a0<\/span>cucino. (I rarely cook.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a> Adverbs of Frequency<\/a><\/p>\n

\nLoro\u00a0mangiano<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

4) Look at the definite articles we use for the following nouns:<\/h3>\n

i<\/strong><\/span> libri (the books) – il<\/strong><\/span> tempo libero (the free time)
\nlo<\/strong><\/span> sport (the sport) – le<\/strong><\/span> amiche (the (girl)friends)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
