grammar exercises:
At the beginning of the semester, I struggled to identify the subject and thus pronoun for a given sentence. This exercise helped me with my problem. Both through the different pronouns and applying them and incorporating them in a sentence was very helpful.

This grammar exercise was extremely useful is improving my conjugation and identification skills. The first part of this assignment dealt with identifying the subject of the sentence and then conjugating the necessary verb. Both skills are really important in the development of learning the language.

As noted in my quizzes/tests portion of my quaderno, I commented that one of my main problems on all exams was using the appropriate preposition. This practice was great in practicing the uses of the different simple prepositions in italian. This exercise has standard questions and some tricky ones, which is helpful for practicing. I also wrote down the exceptions to the rules so I remember them as well.

Another type of question that I struggled with as evident by my execution on quizzes and tests was the "analisi logica e grammaticale. These practices were essential in the improvements I made each sequential assessment. Having these exercises was important because it is hard to come up with your own off the top of your head and the best way to improve with this type of question is through practice and repetition.

One grammar concept in italian that was very different and difficult to understand and grasp was the importance of articles and the amount of articles that exist and the uses of them. This worksheet dealt with all the different types of articles that are possible and both the singular and plural forms.

As I previously mentioned, I have struggled this semester with prepositions. Thus, all preposition exercises have been helpful especially this one when we transitioned from simple prepositions into compound prepositions.
