    A) so
    B) conosce
    C) sa
    D) conosco
    D) conosco

    Io non conosco il nuovo fidanzato di Giulia = I don't know Giulia's new boyfriend. For being acquainted with a person you use conoscere, not sapere, and the io form ends in -o.
    Essential verbs

    L'appartamento ha una cucina, un bagno e due camere da ___.

    A) cucina
    B) letto
    C) bagno

    Le tue sorelle sono molto ___!

    A) simpatichi
    B) simpatica
    C) simpatiche
    D) simpatici
    C) simpatiche

    Le tue sorelle sono molto simpatiche = Your sisters are very nice. The adjective agrees with a feminine plural noun, so it ends in -che, keeping the hard k sound; simpatici is masculine plural.
    Adjectives
  4. Scegli la parola giusta.

    Mio fratello ___ diciotto anni.

    A) ha
    B) hanno
    C) è
    D) sta
    A) ha

    Mio fratello ha diciotto anni = My brother is eighteen (literally, has eighteen years). Age uses avere, never essere.
    Essere avere & stare
  5. Scegli la forma giusta.

    A) Mia
    B) Mio
    C) Il mio
    D) La mia
    A) Mia

    Mia madre è di Napoli = My mother is from Naples. A singular noun for a relative with no adjective or suffix drops the article after the possessive: mia madre. The article stays with loro (la loro madre) and with nouns that are not relatives, such as la mia famiglia.
    Possessives
  6. Scegli la forma giusta.

    Il mio compleanno è ___ maggio (1/5).

    A) il primo
    B) il uno
    C) la prima
    D) l'uno
    A) il primo

    il primo maggio = the first of May. Only the first day of the month uses the ordinal primo; other dates use the plain number, as in il due giugno.
