    It doesn't accept "grown up" as a synonym for "adult"? Seriously?

      Grown up (two words) is an adjective. The noun for an adult is grown-up or grownup. But why give DL to recognise every possible variant when "adult" is so obvious and straightforward?

      It rejected ‘grown-up’.

        Ora can also be used for 'hour' but in this context, none whatsoever. Use either.

            Why is it not... Now you are an adult?

              Some versions of this item place ora at the end. Does anyone know what the difference would be (in terms of meaning) and/or what the rule is for the placement of ora?

                [QUESTION]

                Is it also correct if we say "Sei ora un adulto"?

                Grazie per le spiegazioni

                      duo gave me the correct answer "You are now 1 adult". i guess, it's a typo.

                        "Sei un adulto ora" "Ora sei un adulto" - OKAY, I HEARD YOU WELL
