C1
Italian C1: Proficient
At C1 the question is no longer whether something is correct but what it does. Whether a piece of advice lands as an instruction or as an offer is not a matter of grammar any more: both sentences are correct, and only the tone separates them.
Then come the structures you can dodge in conversation and meet everywhere on the page: inversion, participle clauses, nouns built out of verbs, the whole frame of written language.
Verbs: modals, si, subjunctive1
Can, must, want
1Politeness, style, fine points3
Fine points and style
