I have sent this list to a student who asked for it, and have decided to make it available here, as well. I have also posted a page of explanation and exercises regarding the “future in the past”, which you can find among the pages, with the title "Rogers future in the past". -- __ want/would like somebody to do something __ : I would like him to help me = Vorrei che lui mi aiutasse. -- __duration form__: I have known her for a long time = La conosco da molto tempo -- __"chi" che significa "colui/coloro che"__ Only the people who know this rule can translate this sentence = Soltanto chi conosce questa regola può tradurre questa frase. -- __"come" is translated "like” + noun, “as” or “the way”+ verb, “such as” +list, “as” + identification/profession__ I dance like Michael Jackson / I can dance the way Michael Jackson did / I like good dancers, such as Michael Jackson / Michael Jackson made money as a performer. -- __causative "far fare"__ I made (cause, force) / had (ask, request) / let (permit) my son wash the windows = Ho fatto lavare le finestre da mio figlio. I had the windows washed = Ho fatto lavare le finestre.  -- “__future in the past”__ I knew that he would help me = Sapevo che mi avrebbe aiutato.

Other parts of the course are the following: -- theoretical linguistics (Prof. Caliendo, who is the professor responsible for this course) -- translation from English to Italian (Prof. Caliendo) -- language skills, using //New Headway Upper-Intermediate// (Maria Mansi) -- development of vocabulary (Maria Mansi) -- "liason interpreting" (Prof. Caliendo, Maria Mansi, Molly Rogers) The written examination will include the theoretical part of the course, translation from English to Italian, and translation from Italian to English. The oral examination will include a situation of "liason interpreting".
 * This wiki is limited to translation from Italian to English, which is only one part of the third year examination.**

Each student should **open a page** and copy his or her assignments onto that page. I will visit your pages and make occasional corrections, and be able to follow the progress of the students. To open a page, click on "nuova pagina" to the left of this text. Indicate the name of your page by using your name, your surname first in capital letters. Your page title should look like this: ROGERS Molly. Translations are on the page entitled "ROGERSassignments" and are also available in photocopy at Ciro's photocopy centre. If you have any questions or problems, please contact me at mollyrogers@gmail.com.
