✕Common Mistakes

  • Che cosa attività sono previste?

    Avoid inserting 'cosa' between 'che' and the noun; 'che cosa' is a standalone interrogative phrase, not an adjective before a noun.

  • Che attività è previste?

    The verb must agree with the plural noun; use 'sono' not 'è'.

  • Che attività sono previsto?

    The past participle must match the feminine plural noun; use 'previste' not 'previsto'.

Cultural Tip

In Italian, 'che' before a noun is common in spoken language, while 'quali' sounds slightly more formal and is often preferred in written or professional contexts. Also, note that 'attività' is a feminine noun, so adjectives and past participles must match its gender and number.
