I might be extremely dense here, but this doesn't seem to me to be present perfect.
How would you ask "did the shop open on Sunday?" That's what I thought that answer was, can somebody please help me out with this, thank you.
the definite article makes it sundays in general (different to English). La domenica = on sundays Domenica = this sunday (or another meaning if modified).
i put "was the shop open on sunday" and got it wrong. can someone tell me how one would ask that question? thanks!
I got this right as ... Is the shop open on Sundays?, more by luck than judgement. But this lesson is present perfect .... how is this sentence / question present perfect? A google search gave this : The present perfect tense is used in the following situations:
<pre>an action which took place a short time ago.
an action which took place some time ago and the results of the action can still be felt in the present
an experience in your life
an action which has finished but the time period (e.g. this year , this week, today) hasn't finished yet
</pre>
duo lingo is nuts: i wrote Is the shop opened on Sundays? and it was not accepted even though it shows like correct answer
why "shop" instead of "store" here? I believe this is the first time I have seen "shop" in all the lessons I have completed thus far. Is it the "io" at the end of negozio that infers the store is small, and thus a shop?

@DonGargano: It seems a Duolingo question setter accidentally used traditional English for once, rather than simplified. ;-)
