Usage notes
- Use 'scorso' for past time periods (weeks, months, years) when they're complete. 'L'anno scorso' = last year (finished).
- Don't confuse with 'ultimo'. 'Ultimo' = most recent in a sequence. 'Scorso' = immediately preceding in time.
- Always place 'scorso' after the noun: 'la settimana scorsa', not 'scorsa settimana'.
