    I might be extremely dense here, but this doesn't seem to me to be present perfect.

      That's what i was thinking, maybe they're just throwing a curve ball

        I think it's to remind us that aperto can be used as an adjective

          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.

            Why does "The shop is open this sunday" not work? Someone explain please.

              the definite article makes it sundays in general (different to English). La domenica = on sundays Domenica = this sunday (or another meaning if modified).

                Couldn't it be "Is the business open on sundays?"?

                  negozio specifically means shop, not business.

                        È aperto looks to me like present perfect. Can anyone explain, please?

                          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>
