How to say “When is the assignment due?” in Italian

Ask when an assignment must be submitted.

Quando dobbiamo consegnare il compito?

When is the assignment due?

Check both the date and the submission method if necessary.

Use it in three situations

  1. In class

    Quando dobbiamo consegnare il compito?

    When is the assignment due?

  2. Checking homework

    Dobbiamo consegnarlo domani?

    Do we need to hand this in tomorrow?

  3. Planning study time

    A che ora scade il termine?

    What time is the deadline?

What to watch for

Due describes the submission deadline, rather than when the task began.

Read the whole expression before replacing a detail. The natural wording may use a different order or construction from the English sentence.

A note on speaking Italian

Use tu with friends and Lei with someone you address formally. A request with vorrei or potrebbe can soften the tone; it still helps to say what you need clearly. The examples label the situation so you can choose the appropriate relationship.

Read doubled consonants distinctly and keep the written accents. The English translation explains the intended message; Italian often chooses a different construction rather than matching each English word.
