✕Common Mistakes
Tutti sono divertiti.
Missing the reflexive pronoun ‘si’; the verb ‘divertire’ is reflexive when meaning ‘to have fun.’
Tutti si è divertiti.
Incorrect agreement; ‘si è’ is singular, but the subject is plural.
Tutti si sono divertito.
Wrong past participle form; the correct form is ‘divertiti’ (masc. plural).
Tutti si sono divertita.
Gender mismatch; use ‘divertiti’ for a mixed or all‑male group, ‘divertite’ for an all‑female group.

Cultural Tip
In Italian social settings it’s common to comment on the group’s enjoyment with ‘divertirsi.’ Remember that the past participle must match the gender of the group: ‘divertiti’ for a mixed or all‑male group, ‘divertite’ for an all‑female group. Also, the reflexive pronoun ‘si’ is mandatory; omitting it changes the meaning.
