    da solo = by himself, don't take everything literally!

      For me it helps to think of 'da solo' as 'of oneness'

            You do not tell he goes in. You only say he goes alone

              "entra da solo" was also accepted.

                How come "goes" get translated as "entra"????

                  The statement is "He goes IN alone" in other words, to enter

                    why is 'da' added to 'solo'? I said: Lui va solo dentro

                      In this case, "solo" would mean "only". So what you said is "He ONLY goes inside" instead "da solo", which means "alone". Per esempio, one could say "Sono da solo" = I am alone

                        yes, why is "da" necessary?

                            Va dentro solo was marked correct

                              Can I use "in" instead of "dentro"?
