Are today's departures still valid?
Sì, hanno cancellato tutte le partenze.
Yes, they have cancelled all departures.
✕Common Mistakes
È cancellato tutte le partenze.
The auxiliary must agree with the plural subject; use 'hanno' not 'è'.
Sì, hanno cancellato tutto le partenze.
Because 'partenze' is feminine plural, the correct determiner is 'tutte le', not 'tutto le'.
Sì, hanno cancellati tutte le partenze.
The past participle does not agree with the subject when 'avere' is the auxiliary; keep it in the masculine singular form 'cancellato'.

Sì, tutte le partenze sono state cancellate.

Cultural Tip
In Italy, transport cancellations are often announced via loudspeakers and digital boards. The verb 'cancellare' is the most common term, but 'annullare' is also used, especially for tickets. When speaking to staff, keep a polite tone; adding 'per favore' or 'mi scusi' softens the statement. Note that Italians frequently use the past perfect (passato prossimo) for recent actions like this.
