| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Marco: Cinzia, do you get jealous when one of your friends starts dating someone? |
| Cinzia: Oh yes, a lot. |
| Marco: Really? How come? |
| Cinzia: Because for me friends are like a family, and especially boyfriends, they're like my brothers, so since I don't know who really is the person who they're dating, I can be very jealous and possessive. |
| Marco: I see, so you need to be sure about how good their intentions are? |
| Cinzia: Yes!!! And of course if they date someone charming and intelligent, it's much better! |
| Marco: Ahah! Well done Cinzia! Let's jump into the lesson now! |
| Cinzia: Ok! |

Lesson focus |
|---|
| Cinzia: As we have seen in the two previous lessons, the futuro semplice is used in four different cases. Today we are going to take a look at the third one. |
| Marco: The third case is, to acknowledge the actual truth of facts that are deemed to be relevant to the conversation. But this definition is rather difficult, let's see some examples and it will be all so clear. |
| Cinzia: Saranno anche le sei, ma io non ho intenzione di andarmene. |
| Marco: “Even though it’s six p.m., I’ve no intention of leaving.” |
| Cinzia: Avrò anche dimenticato il nostro anniversario, ma ciò non vuol dire che non ti amo. |
| Marco: “Even though I forgot our anniversary, it doesn’t mean I don’t love you.” |
| Cinzia: Avranno anche vinto la guerra, ma a quale costo. |
| Marco: “They may have won the war, but at what cost.” As we have seen in these last examples, in the first phrase we use the futuro semplice to state a fact, that is then invalidated in the second phrase. For example, “They may have won the war”, we are saying that yes, those people have won the war, it's a fact, but then we say, “but at what cost”, so we are invalidating the value of the statement of the first phrase. |
