[{"role": "user", "content": "I'm trying to learn Italian and I'm stuck on the sentence 'Tom was early'. Can you help me translate it?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Certo! The translation of 'Tom was early' in Italian is 'Tom era in anticipo'. 'Era' is the verb 'to be' in the past tense, 'in anticipo' means 'early' or 'ahead of time'. If you want a more literal translation, you can also say 'Tom arriv\u00f2 presto', which means 'Tom arrived early'."}]
