Common Mistakes

  • Anche io piace molto il verde.

    The verb must agree with the subject (il verde), not with 'io'. Use 'piace' not 'piace' with 'io'.

  • Anche a me piacciono molto il verde.

    Use the singular form 'piace' because the subject 'il verde' is singular.

  • Anche a me piace molto verde.

    Colours normally need the definite article in Italian; add 'il' before 'verde'.

Alternatives

  • Anche a me piace il verde.

    I also like green.

  • A me piace molto il verde.

    I really like green.

  • Mi piace molto il verde.

    I really like green.

  • Il verde mi piace molto.

    The green pleases me a lot.

Cultural Tip

In Italian, the verb 'piacere' works like 'to be pleasing to' rather than 'to like'. Therefore the thing you like (il verde) is the grammatical subject, and the person who likes it appears as an indirect object with 'a' (or the clitic 'mi', 'ti', etc.). Remember to keep the article before colours unless you are speaking poetically.
