✕Common Mistakes
Il DJ è confermata per sabato.
The adjective must agree with the masculine noun 'DJ', so use 'confermato'.

When indicating a future day, the correct preposition is 'per', not 'a'.
Il DJ è confermato sabato.
The preposition 'per' is needed to link the day to the confirmation.

Cultural Tip
In Italy, events—especially club nights and private parties—often rely on a DJ to set the mood. The word 'DJ' stays masculine, so adjectives must agree (confermato, non confermata). Also, days of the week are written in lowercase, unlike English.
