    "non ando' " should work too. Especially if "pote' " is requested as a translation for "could have" in another phrase. :-)

      It works with the accent: andò

        I thought I had typed in, but maybe I goofed. Thanks, mukkapazza. I like your name. :-)

          I don't really understand the "mi". Aspettare is transitive so is it because the Italian is "I expected to me "?

          Non capisco... :-(

            Very likely an old question but for the others asking the same question : the verb here is not "Aspettare" but the reflexive "Aspettarsi".

              Why does it accept only andata and not era andato?

                "It" did not go, not "I' did not go. "era andato" not "ero andato".

                  Sorry, I meant why does it not accept non era andato, only andata?

                    Mi dispiace. Good question! Seems logical to me it could be M or F.
