"He is outside now."

Translation: Lui è fuori ora.

[die7fox]

When is it appropriate to use "adesso" instead of "ora" when meaning "now?"

[angeluis_]

I think you can use both without a problem

[LorenzoLM]

adesso is accepted

[PauletteSm]

Adesso lui è fuori. Was marked wrong. Why?

[NellyRoss6]

Same question. I too was marked wrong.

[Superinteressert]

I read somewhere else here that Italian sentences never end with a preposition. I am not myself an Italian, but maybe that is the answer.

[PhilDelapi]

Ora è fuori wasn't accepted :/

[PhilDelapi]

Davvero? Non ci credo, non me l'aspettavo proprio

[PhilDelapi]

Sì, sul serio, che ciuoti che sono

[A.J.Stephen]

I wrote "ora è fuori" and was marked wrong. Is it incorrect in Italian or should I report it ?

[VitaBonaEst]

Of course it is a completely acceptable English equivalent, but I think Duolingo specifically wanted "he is outside now."

[PaoloBarto10]

È la mia stessa traduzione ed è corretta e capita da qualsiasi italiano. Puo essere la risposta a una richiesta telefonica. By

[GuerraAmanda]

Why can't it be "lui sta fuori ora"?

[d_Matthew]

I'd like to know the same... why not "sta fuori ora/adesso"?

[Jerrya9]

When do you use è and when do you sta? In Spanish, ser is for permanent characteristics and estar is for location or temporary conditions. But in Italian I can't find a consistency. Can anyone clarify?

[infectus]

Too many (appropriate) questions, but no answers whatsoever. I'd like some answers too! Guess I'll just follow the discussion

[Mark680718]

Ora é fuori/É fuori ora.....both are correct. Without Lui you can put Ora at beginning or end. With Lui, then ora goes at the end.
I checked with my Italian partner. :-)

[M_mag_Herbstlaub]

thanks! - maybe it's the reason for my being marked wrong (tried 'ora lui è fuori').
i will try it at the end of the lesson.
But a little above somebody said he had been marked wrong as well for 'ora è fuori' (?)

[subetealanutria]

"Lui é ora fuori" was marked wrong. Do I really need to pay attention to the order of adverbs in Italian? In Spanish it is tottally ok to say "ahora fuera" and "fuera ahora".

[MrIanTyre]

i also would like to know when to use e` rather than sta

[DanielCrawford34]

I repeat: what ever happened to stare?

[Robert105754]

Why is Lui è ora fuori wrong??

[PolyakovaA1]

Adesso wasn't accepted December,2 2019

[GaryTSarti]

ora e fuori is perfectly alright unless it's time for duo to screw people. There is no one of authority to answer questions so we should just stop expecting clarification

[allenrpn]

I wrote : Lui è fuori ancora and got it wrong... why?

[Birgit749857]

I can say Lui ora è fuori

[ESLStar]

Downright wrong - location expressed by "stare" not "essere". Where did these people learn Italian?

[Tiag404339]

Adesso still not accepted - Nov 2020. Can anyone clarify the difference between ora and adesso?
