[{"role": "user", "content": "I'm trying to learn Italian and I'm stuck on the sentence 'She went.' I'd like to know how to say the phrase 'She went' when referring to something in the past where 'went' doesn't necessarily mean movement but rather 'to go' as in 'to pass', for example as in 'She went', in the sense that she passed away, in Italian.."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "In Italian, when you want to express that someone 'went' in the sense of 'to pass' or a change in state, you can use the verb 'diventare', which means 'to become'. For example, if you want to say 'She went blind', the correct translation would be '\u00c8 diventata cieca.'"}, {"role": "user", "content": "That makes a lot of sense, but what if I want to use the verb 'andare' (to go) in the past tense, like I want to say 'She went' in the past tense of 'andare'?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "If you want to use the verb 'andare' (to go) in the past tense, you would say '\u00c8 andata'. However, keep in mind that this would typically imply movement, so it might not be the best choice if you're trying to convey a change of state or 'to pass' as you mentioned earlier."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I see, so the verb 'diventare' is more suitable when describing a change of state, or 'to pass', such as 'She went blind' in the past tense?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Exactly, 'diventare' is a better choice when describing a change of state or 'to pass', like in the sentence 'She went blind', which is '\u00c8 diventata cieca' in Italian. Using 'diventare' helps to convey the idea of a change or transition, making it a more suitable choice for expressing 'to pass' or a change of state."}]
