\nLaura told me that Giovanni isn\u2019t well = Mi ha<\/span> raccontato Laura che Giovanni non sta bene<\/strong>
\nIn fact Giovanni phoned Laura yesterday evening = Infatti Giovanni ha telefonato a <\/span>Laura ieri sera<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Necessities<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\nwe have to pay the gas bill today = oggi dobbiamo <\/span>pagare la bolletta del gas<\/strong>
