"I never meet anyone new. There aren't any single people out there!". These are some of the excuses that people give for being single, but there are people everywhere and many of them are also looking for a partner. You can try clubs, pubs, wine bars and parties, but there's plenty of (un sacco di) other less obvious places where you can meet your potential partner: in the office lift, on the train, or even at the supermarket, so you should always be on the look out (all’erta).
Here are a few suggestions:

Join an evening class: it can help you make many new friends (fare amicizie), especially if you go for a drink with your classmates after the lesson.

Join a dance class: it’s a fantastic place to meet people and have fun if nothing else (se non altro)!

Go shopping: supermarkets are another good place to meet people and with practice you'll be able to spot (individuare) the singles shopping for one.

If you have a date with someone, you are going to meet them socially (go out for dinner, to the cinema, to a pub), particularly if you’re having a romantic relationship with them.

If you have an appointment with someone, you are going to meet them for professional reasons: for example, you can have an appointment with your doctor.

Amore - Grammatica

Questa lezione ti aiuterà a comprendere la struttura della frase interrogativa

Question word order
Per tenere a mente la struttura della frase interrogativa in inglese, prova a paragonarla a un treno.
In testa al treno troviamo l’ausiliare, cui seguono gli altri vagoni (il soggetto, il verbo, i complementi)

Do you like your job?
Is she French?
Senza l’ausiliare, l’interrogativa non può camminare.

L’ausiliare può essere preceduto da una delle parole WH- (What, Why, When, Where, Who) oppure da How:
Where do you come from?
Where did you go yesterday?

Ricorda che:
What può essere seguito da un sostantivo. Ad esempio:
What time is it?

How può essere seguito da un aggettivo o un avverbio. Ad esempio:
How old are you?
How often do you go to the cinema?
