Cultural Tip
In Italian, the direct‑object pronoun must match the gender and number of the noun it replaces, so "lo" is used for masculine singular, "la" for feminine singular, "li" for masculine plural, and "le" for feminine plural. The future simple is common in written Italian and formal speech; in everyday conversation Italians often use "stanno per" + infinitive (e.g., "i miei genitori stanno per vederlo").
