🎧 Mini Episode 07 – The Moment It Happened: Passato Prossimo in Action

In this mini episode, we take a closer look at how the passato prossimo works on its own and alongside the imperfetto. First, we review the building blocks of the tense and practice with verbs drawn from Chapter 1 of our story. Then we expand with a few new verbs and see how quick “snapshots” of completed action can suddenly interrupt the flowing background of the imperfetto. Along the way, Antonio keeps the energy high while we discover how these two past tenses team up to make stories come alive.
