We will widden the dining room this week, so please forgive the noise and the dust. Polpetta wants to beautyfy the walls, modernise the kitchen at last, and simplifie the menu down to eight dishes. He has asked Nonna to classifie the recipes by region, which she says will take a lifetime. The new lamps darkken by themselves at nine. Our new chef will demonstrait his pasta on Saturday, and we will advertize the reopening in the window. We are sorry for anyone who arrives to find the door shut.
One verb ends in -ise and is already right. One ends in -ize and is not.

Help Polpetta

Chef Polpetta

I have mended it: We will widen the room to beautifie your evening. I changed the y to an i, exactly as you told me.

Tell him why it is still wrong, and give him another verb built from a root ending in y.
