    When do we use Gli and I for plurals?

      When the word start with Consonant use I and if it start with vowel with Gli

        When I peeked at the word "insect", you said I should use "insetto" and completely ignored the correct answer.

          I guess when you peak it only gives you a hint. Insetto is the singular form. Insetti is plural and since this is the 3rd lesson it may assume you only need a hint. Just a guess.

              Why when I use Gl' instead of gli is wrong?
