Which sentence correctly uses the particle "ne" in Italian?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Quante mele hai? Ne ho tre
- Step 1: The particle ne replaces a partitive or quantity: "ne ho tre" means "I have three of them". Step 2. It precedes the verb and cannot be combined with le in this phrase. Answer: Ne ho tre. Why not the others: the other sentences use the wrong verb or add pronouns that Italian does not allow here.
