You can &lt;a href="http://xoomer.virgilio.it/cespo/prepart.htm"&gt;view this page&lt;/a&gt; in my website and/or &lt;a href="http://xoomer.virgilio.it/cespo/art_e_prep.doc"&gt;download&lt;/a&gt; a word document on &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;preposizioni e articoli. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;From now on, I will concentrate on posting resources for Italian mainly. However, if you feel I should not leave Spanish and English language resources behind, just let me know!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4611118255700002697-1559370359066525096?l=onlinelanguagetutoring.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://onlinelanguagetutoring.blogspot.com/feeds/1559370359066525096/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4611118255700002697&amp;postID=1559370359066525096' title='2 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4611118255700002697/posts/default/1559370359066525096'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4611118255700002697/posts/default/1559370359066525096'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://onlinelanguagetutoring.blogspot.com/2009/06/articoli-e-preposizioni.html' title='Articoli e preposizioni'/><author><name>Cesare Popoli</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06292983240168932953</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_H4Rt5YhOuQE/SGY9C6Fix0I/AAAAAAAAABs/0g4-KCg45uk/S220/buona.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H4Rt5YhOuQE/Si3CedaKFgI/AAAAAAAAAI4/hkiypGIxu_Y/s72-c/soggiorno.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4611118255700002697.post-4380928440691743625</id><published>2009-06-02T17:14:00.015+10:00</published><updated>2009-07-16T21:53:51.910+10:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Italian language posts'/><title type='text'>Una canzone di Samuele Bersani: lo scrutatore non votante</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H4Rt5YhOuQE/SiTZg5dVwtI/AAAAAAAAAIY/PZBjjIn62aE/s1600-h/bersani.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 180px; height: 180px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_H4Rt5YhOuQE/SiTZg5dVwtI/AAAAAAAAAIY/PZBjjIn62aE/s400/bersani.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342634217171174098" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ciao a tutti.

A giugno ci sono le elezioni… quindi la canzone, che si chiama &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Lo scrutatore non votante&lt;/span&gt; è decisamente di attualità! La canzone fa parte dell'album di Bersani del 2006 &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;L'aldiquà.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Per ascoltare in rete la canzone &lt;a href="http://songza.com/~bs1yqy"&gt;cliccare qui&lt;/a&gt;. Per il testo completo della canzone, note linguistiche e testo da completare &lt;a href="http://xoomer.virgilio.it/cespo/scrutatore.pdf"&gt;cliccare qui&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Dopo l'ascolto, iscrivetevi e partecipate &lt;a href="http://onlinelanguagelearning.forumup.it/"&gt;al forum&lt;/a&gt; (Cantautori) con le vostre domande e i vostri commenti.

Unfortunately, many verbs have an irregular past participle. &lt;a href="http://xoomer.virgilio.it/cespo/participi.pdf"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;This list&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; might help dissipate all your doubts. Verbs are listed in the present perfect form, with the auxiliary "essere" or "avere" as required and their irregular past participle.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;esempio: &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;accendere&lt;/span&gt; (to turn on) - &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ho acceso&lt;/span&gt; (I have turned on/I turned on)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have many more simple but effective resources like this one.
