"Lui corre intorno alla casa."

Translation: He runs around the house.

[hoelt]

does this mean around around the outside of the house?

[devaryap]

why is "alla" included?

[Nitram.]

because intorno requires the preposition 'a', so the correct form is 'intorno a + something'.

[franksuhadolnik]

So how would I say "He runs around to the house"?

[salkenward]

why not he runs round to the house - it makes sense but marked wrong....
