It\u2019s a perennial source of confusion, we\u2019ve examined it in depth in a couple of posts, it\u2019s the theoretically simple but deceptively elusive word molto, molta, molti, molte<\/strong>. Here\u2019s a quiz that should help to clarify any difficulties you may be having. But before you have a go at it I suggest that you revisit these blogs: Using Molto And Tanto<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/a>  <\/em><\/strong>and How To Use Molto<\/font><\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Fill in the gaps in the following sentences with molto, molta, molti<\/strong> or molte<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

4. Non faccio altro che bere perch\u00e9 ho \u2026.. sete<\/strong> = I keep drinking because I\u2019m really thirsty (Literally: \u2026 because I have a lot of thirst. N.B: sete<\/strong> = thirst, is feminine singular, la<\/strong> sete<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

5. Oggi ho cucinato \u2026.., cos\u00ec domani sono libera di andare al mare<\/strong> = today I\u2019ve cooked a lot, so tomorrow I\u2019ll be free to go to the sea<\/p>\n

10. L\u2019aereo \u00e8 atterrato ..\u2026 in ritardo<\/strong> = The plane landed very late<\/p>\n

To finish with, here\u2019s a sentence in which molto<\/strong> appears twice, once as an adjective (meaning that the ending agrees with the noun) and once as an adverb (meaning that it stays as molto<\/strong>). Which is which? L\u2019inverno passato non \u00e8 stato \u2026.. freddo, ma abbiamo avuto ..\u2026 pioggia<\/strong> = Last winter wasn\u2019t very cold, but we had a lot of rain.<\/p>\n

Next Monday we\u2019ll give you the correct answers, explaining the grammatical function of molto<\/strong> in each sentence. In the mean time, stay tuned for poco<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
