✕Common Mistakes
Anche il prezzo cambiano.
The noun must be plural because the verb is plural; use prezzi, not prezzo.
Anche i prezzi cambia.
cambia is singular; with the plural subject prezzi you need cambiano.
Anche i prezzi, cambiano.
Avoid inserting a comma between subject and verb; it breaks the flow.

Cultural Tip
In Italy, price changes can be tied to seasonal sales, regional taxes (IVA), or even local festivals. When discussing price changes in a formal setting (e.g., business meeting), you might use the more formal “I prezzi subiscono variazioni.” In casual conversation, “Anche i prezzi cambiano” sounds natural and friendly.
