What are the most frequent Italian grammatical errors by learners

The most frequent Italian grammatical errors by learners typically include issues related to:

• Verb conjugation and agreement, especially with irregular verbs and subject-verb agreement.
• Use of articles, both definite and indefinite.
• Prepositions, which are often confused or omitted.
• Gender and number agreement of nouns and adjectives.
• Word order, particularly in sentence structure.
• Use of clitic pronouns and their correct placement.
• Errors due to interference from the learner’s native language (L1) causing transfer errors.

These errors often reflect challenges in mastering Italian morphology and syntax, and cross-linguistic influence from the learner’s first language plays a significant role in the type of errors produced by learners. ^{1, 2, 3}

If you want, I can provide a more detailed list of typical errors with explanations.
