di aver

Is there a lesson on using: “di aver” such as in the sentence: “penso di aver perso il portafoglio”?  Thank you.

Ciao Antonio,

Yes, there is a lesson on using "di aver" in Italian. It is typically referred to as the construction of the verb "pensare" (to think) followed by "di aver" and the past participle of another verb.

In the sentence you provided, "penso di aver perso il portafoglio," the construction "di aver perso" is used to express the idea of "thinking" or "believing" that something has happened or been done. In English, it translates to "I think I have lost my wallet."

If you are following a specific course or textbook, I recommend checking the section on verb constructions or phrases with "di" to find more information and examples related to the usage of "di aver" in Italian.

If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. I'm here to help!

Buona giornata! (Have a great day!)
