4. Learning Actions 🔒
Do you know the Italian verbs for the most common classroom actions? This quiz covers studiare, imparare, leggere, scrivere, and chiedere. Match each verb to its English translation, then practise using it in fill-in-the-blank and full-sentence Italian translation exercises.A useful note on chiedere: this single verb covers two things that English splits into to ask and to ask for. Italian learners sometimes try domandare instead, which also works for questions but cannot be used for requests. When in doubt, chiedere handles both.

5. Class Schedule 🔒
From arithmetic to athletics, this Italian school subjects quiz covers matematica, storia, scienze, arte, and educazione fisica. Match each subject to its English translation, then practise using it in Italian sentences across three rounds of activities.One small but important difference: matematica is singular in Italian. You say la matematica è difficile, not the plural form used in some other languages. Also worth noting: fisica on its own means physics, not PE. The full form educazione fisica is always needed when talking about the subject.

6. School Day 🔒
Whether you are sitting an esame or heading to the mensa, this Italian school vocabulary quiz covers the words you need for a typical school day: compiti, esame, intervallo, biblioteca, and mensa. Three rounds of matching, gap-fill, and sentence translation will help make them stick.A grammar detail worth noting: compiti is always plural in Italian when it means homework. You say faccio i compiti, not the singular form. Think of it as the tasks rather than a single task: the plural is baked into everyday usage.
