N. 2 IT'S

In Italian we skip the subject IT before a verb. There is an equivalent but nobody bothers to use it.

So, when we want to say that something IS, we simply write  << e'  >>.

Esempio:  it's beautiful> e' bello      it's ugly > e' brutto

Bello and brutto are adjectives.

YOUR TASK:

write ONE common expression in English, like "It's interesting" and, next to it, the Italian translation. 


The expression must be made of  <<it's>> + an adjective.

Look up the translation in a dictionary (wordreference.com). 

CHOOSE ONLY ADJECTIVES that look the same in English and Italian.


ESEMPIO: you want to say "it's interesting"

<Interesting> in italiano is <interessante>. The two words are very similar. OK.

However, if you want to say "it's hard",

<hard> in italiano is <duro>. Completely different. Skip <hard> and find something else.

WORDS that look alike in two languages are called COGNATES. Here we are focusing on ADJECTIVES.
