I went to the Harry’s Bar - to me, not worth going. Incredibly expensive and the service wasn’t that great. Some friends went and they enjoyed it - I guess everyone’s different…

Ciao Jane e Massimo,

Can you explain why you use “l’ho sentita parlare..” instead of “l’ho sentito parlare..”? I was under the impression that the past participle of verbs using avere as auxiliary did not require any inflection. In this case you appear to use a singular feminine inflection for Italo.

Grazie per i vostro meraviglioso lezioni.
