Common Mistakes

  • Hai fatto una timeline?

    While *Hai fatto una timeline?* is understandable, *creato* is the more precise verb for ‘to create’.

  • Hai creato un timeline?

    The loanword *timeline* is treated as feminine, so the correct article is *una*, not *un*.

  • Hai stato una timeline?

    The auxiliary *essere* is not used with *creare*; the correct form is *Hai creato*.
