"L'ho visto vicino alla porta."

Translation: I saw him near the door.

[MillerJeffrey]

Surely ' near the door' and 'near to the door' mean the same thing?

[fort709735]

I saw it close to the door

[mohrstein]

why not "I saw her near the door."?

[osarpas]

Because 'visto' is masculine. For feminine it would be "L'ho vista vicino alla porta."

[mohrstein]

Somehow I didn't get that that verb use has to agree with object pronoun before. Thank you!

[friswing]

Perfect with 'avere' (ho visto) has agreement with the object only if it is a pronoun in front of the conjugated verb. " L'ho vista" - I have seen her, but not otherwise: "Ho visto la ragazza".

What is this "L'ho" construction? Theoretically this is review but I don't think I've seen "l'ho" before.

[adam415f]

L' is him/her. Ho is (I) have

Marked me wrong for putting 'near to the door' it said i should have used 'next to'. Reported on 1/7/15

[Muyil]

To me, it's stretching the point to call this 'directions'

[AnnaGuaGua]

how do you hear the difference between Lo and L'ho.....they sound exactly the same.???

[Timeshell]

"I saw him beside the door" should also be accepted.
