Additionally, Italian has a number of verbs that do not follow predictable patterns in all conjugation classes, most markedly the present and the absolute past. Often classified together as irregular verbs, their irregularities occur to different degrees, with forms of '' essere'' "to be", and somewhat less extremely, '' avere'' "to have", the least predictable. Others, such as '' andare'' "to go", '' stare'' "to stay, to stand", '' dare'' "to give", '' fare'' "to do, to make", and numerous others, follow various degrees of regularity within paradigms, largely due to

The suffixes that form the infinitive are always stressed, except for ''-ere'', which is stressed in some verbs (e.g. ''vedere'' "to see") and unstressed in others (e.g. ''prendere'' "to take").

The present


Present (''Il presente'')

The present is used for: *events happening in the present *habitual actions *current states of being and conditions *actions planned to occur in the future * ''io credo'' "I believe" * ''lei dorme'' "she sleeps" Subject pronouns are not obligatory in Italian, and they are normally only used when they are stressed. The conjugation of the verb is normally used to show the subject. * ''credo'' "I believe" * ''credi'' "you believe" (2nd pers. sing.) * ''crede'' "he/she believes" The pronoun '' tu'' (and corresponding verb forms) is used in the singular towards children, family members and close friends (cf.

The past


Present perfect (''Il passato prossimo'')

The present perfect is used for single actions or events (''stamattina sono andato a scuola'' "I went to school this morning"), or change in state (''si è arrabbiato quando gliel’ho detto'' "he got angry when I told him that"), contrasting with the imperfect which is used for habits (''andavo in bicicletta a scuola ogni mattina'' "I used to go to school by bike every morning"), or repeated actions, not happening at a specific time (''si arrabbiava ogni volta che qualcuno glielo diceva'' "he got angry every time someone told him that").


The past participle

The past participle is used to form the compound pasts (e.g. ''ho lavorato, avevo lavorato, ebbi lavorato, avrò lavorato''). Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern, but there are many verbs with an irregular past participle. * verbs in ''-are'' add -ato to the stem: ''parlato'', ''amato''; * some verbs in ''-ere'' add -uto to the stem: ''creduto''; * verbs in ''-ire'' add -ito to the stem: ''partito'', ''finito''; * other verbs in ''-ere'' are irregular, they mutate the stem and add -o, -so, -sto or -tto to the stem: ''preso'' (from ''prendere''), ''letto'' (from ''leggere''), ''rimasto'' (from ''rimanere''); * ''fare'' and ''dire'' do exactly the same thing: ''fatto'' (from ''fare''), ''detto'' (from ''dire''). Compounds from the root ''-durre'' similarly have ''-dotto'' ; * ''venire'' has ''venuto'' and ''bere'' has ''bevuto''; * ''stare'' and ''essere'' both have ''stato''.


Verbs with ''avere''

s form the present perfect by combining the auxiliary verb ''avere'' "to have" in the present tense with the past participle of the transitive verb. Except with an immediately preceding third person pronominal direct object, the participle always ends in -o. * ''il ragazzo che ho visto'' "the boy I saw" * ''l’ho visto'' "I saw him" * ''ho visto il ragazzo'' "I saw the boy" * ''la ragazza che ho visto'' "the girl I saw" * ''l’ho vista'' "I saw her" * ''ho visto la ragazza'' "I saw the girl"


Verbs with ''essere''

A small number of

s, namely ''essere'' itself and verbs indicating motion (''venire'' "to come", ''andare'' "to go", ''arrivare'' "to arrive", etc.) use the auxiliary verb ''essere'' instead of ''avere''. The past participle in this agrees with gender and number of the subject. When using essere, the past participle agrees in gender and number with preceding third person direct object clitic pronouns, following the same pattern of nouns and adjectives: *-o masculine singular *-a feminine singular *-i masculine plural *-e feminine plural
Reflexive verb In grammar, a reflexive verb is, loosely, a verb whose direct object is the same as its subject; for example, "I wash myself". More generally, a reflexive verb has the same semantic agent and patient (typically represented syntactically by the ...
s always use ''essere'', and their past participle agrees with the subject or with third person object pronouns, if these precede the verb. * ''mi sono lavato/-a'' "I washed myself" * ''ci siamo visti/-e'' "we saw each other" * ''si è lavato le gambe'' "he washed his legs" * ''se le è lavate, le gambe'' "he washed them, his legs" * ''ci siamo parlati'' "we talked to each other"


Imperfect (''L’imperfetto'')

The Imperfect fuses
past tense The past tense is a grammatical tense whose function is to place an action or situation in the past. Examples of verbs in the past tense include the English verbs ''sang'', ''went'' and ''washed''. Most languages have a past tense, with some ha ...

and is used for: *repeated or habitual actions in the past; *ongoing actions in the past and ongoing actions in the past that are eventually interrupted; *states of being and conditions in the past, including weather, time, age. The difference between imperfective and
perfective aspect The perfective aspect ( abbreviated ), sometimes called the aoristic aspect, is a grammatical aspect that describes an action viewed as a simple whole; i.e., a unit without interior composition. The perfective aspect is distinguished from the ...
s can be illustrated clearly with the verb ''sapere'' 'to know'. The Italian imperfect expresses being in possession of knowledge in the past, while the perfective expresses the moment of acquiring the knowledge. Imperfective: ''Sapevo la verità''. 'I knew the truth.' Perfective: ''Ho saputo la verità''. 'I found out the truth.' The Imperfect is, in most cases, formed by taking the stem along with the thematic vowel and adding ''v'' + the ending of the -are verbs in the present tense (with ''-amo'' instead of ''-iamo''). There are no irregular conjugations in the Imperfect except for ''essere'', which uses the stem ''er-'' and ''v'' appears only in 1st and 2nd person plurals. Verbs with contracted infinitive forms use their full stems, e.g. ''dicevo'' (infinitive ''dire''), ''facevo'' (infinitive ''fare''), ''bevevo'' (infinitive ''bere''), ''ponevo'' (infinitive ''porre''). *''loro parlavano'' "they used to speak"


Absolute past (''Il passato remoto'')

The Absolute Past has a function distinct from the Present Perfect. It is used for events which are distant from the present and no longer directly affect it (e.g. telling a story), whereas the Present Perfect is used for more recent events which may have a direct impact on the present. The Absolute Past may at all times be replaced with the Present Perfect (but not vice versa). In many areas of Southern Italy, it is still used commonly in spoken language, whereas in Northern-Central Italy and Sardinia it is restricted to written language. Like the past participle, regular verbs are very predictable, but many verbs (mainly of the second conjugation) are irregular. * Regular verbs are formed by taking the stem and the stressed thematic vowel and adding ''-i'', ''-sti'', main stress, ''-mmo'', ''-ste'', and ''-rono''. Verbs in ''-are'' have ''-ò'' in the third person singular instead of the expected ''-à'': ** amare: ''amai'', ''amasti'', ''amò'', ''amammo'', ''amaste'', ''amarono'' ** credere: ''credei'', ''credesti'', ''credé'', ''credemmo'', ''credeste'', ''crederono'' ** dormire: ''dormii'', ''dormisti'', ''dormì'', ''dormimmo'', ''dormiste'', ''dormirono'' * Irregular verbs, which are almost exclusively of the second conjugation, have irregular stems to which the endings ''-i'', ''-e'', and ''-ero'' are added to form the first-person singular and third-person singular and plural forms, respectively, and, with the exception of ''venire'', which takes the normal third conjugation endings, the second conjugation endings ''-esti'', ''-emmo'', and ''-este'' are added to the normal stem to form the second-person singular and first- and second-person plural forms, respectively (''dire'', ''bere'', ''fare'', and ''porre'' use their long stems here, as usual): ** rompere: ''ruppi'', ''rompesti'', ''ruppe'', ''rompemmo'', ''rompeste'', ''ruppero'' ** vedere: ''vidi'', ''vedesti'', ''vide'', ''vedemmo'', ''vedeste'', ''videro'' ** dire: ''dissi'', ''dicesti'', ''disse'', ''dicemmo'', ''diceste'', ''dissero'' * Some verbs in ''-ere'' that follow the regular pattern (''-ei, -esti,'' etc.) have an alternative form in ''-etti'' which follows the irregular pattern: ** credere: ''credetti'' (= ''credei''), ''credesti'', ''credette'' (= ''credé''), ''credemmo'', ''credeste'', ''credettero'' (= ''crederono'') * ''Essere'' is the only verb that is completely irregular in this tense.


Past perfect (''Il trapassato prossimo'')

Used for activities done prior to another activity (translates to constructions such as "had eaten", "had seen"). The Past Perfect is formed the same as the Present Perfect, but with the auxiliary verb in the Imperfect. * amare: ''avevo amato'' * arrivare: ''ero arrivato/-a'' In literary language, an Absolute Perfect exists which uses the Absolute Past of the auxiliaries, and which is used for activities done prior to another activity which is described with the Absolutive Past. This form is known as ''trapassato remoto''. * amare: ''ebbi amato'' * arrivare: ''fui arrivato/-a''


The future


Future (''Il futuro semplice'')

The future tense is used for events that will happen in the
future The future is the time after the past and present. Its arrival is considered inevitable due to the existence of time and the laws of physics. Due to the apparent nature of reality and the unavoidability of the future, everything that current ...
. It is formed by adding the forms of ''avere'' to the Infinitive (with ''abbiamo'' and ''avete'' contracted to ''-emo'' and ''-ete'' respectively). Sometimes the Infinitive undergoes some changes: * it always loses its final ''e''; * verbs in ''-are'' end in -er, not in ''-ar''; * ''stare'', ''dare'', ''fare'' however retain star-, dar-, far-; * most irregular verbs lose the vowel before the last ''r'' altogether (e.g. avr- for ''avere'' and andr- for ''andare''). Clusters ''-nr-'' and ''-lr-'' are simplified to ''-rr'' (e.g. verr- for ''venire''); * contracted infinitives are retained (e.g. porr- for ''porre''); * ''essere'' has sar-. To these, the respective suffixes ''-ò'', ''-ai'', ''-à'', ''-emo'', ''-ete'', ''-anno'' are added. Historically speaking, these are derived from the present forms of the verb ''avere''.


Future perfect (''Il futuro anteriore'')

Used for events that will have happened when or before something else happens in the future. The Future Perfect is formed the same as the Present Perfect, but with the auxiliary verb in the Future. * amare: ''avrò amato'' * arrivare: ''sarò arrivato/-a''


The conditional


Conditional (''Il condizionale presente'')

Used for: *events that are dependent upon another event occurring; *politely asking for something (like in English, "Could I please have a glass of water?"). The Conditional is formed by taking the root of the Future (i.e. an adapted form of the infinitive) and adding the Absolutive Past forms of ''avere'' (with ''ebbi'', ''avesti'', ''avemmo'', ''aveste'' contracted to ''-ei'', ''-esti'', ''-emmo'', ''-este'' resp.).


Past conditional (''Il condizionale passato'')

Used: *for events that would, could or should have occurred; *as a prospective past tense, e.g. ''Non sapevo quando sarei arrivato.'' “I didn’t know when I would arrive.” The Conditional Perfect is formed the same as the Present Perfect, but with the auxiliary verb in the Conditional. * amare: ''avrei amato'' * arrivare: ''sarei arrivato/-a''


The subjunctive


Present subjunctive (''Il congiuntivo presente'')

Used for subordinate clauses of the present (il presente) to express opinion, possibility, desire, or doubt. The Subjunctive is formed: * for regular verbs in ''-are'', by taking the root and adding ''-i'', ''-ino'' for all the singular forms and the third plural respectively; * for most other regular and semi-regular verbs, by taking the first person singular of the Present Indicative and replacing the final ''-o'' with ''-a'', ''-ano'' for all the singular forms and the third plural respectively; * for a few irregular verbs, by taking the first person plural of the Present Indicative and replacing stressed ''-amo'' with unstressed ''-a'', ''-ano'' for all the singular forms and the third plural respectively; * for all verbs, the first person plural is identical to the Present Indicative. * for all verbs, the second person plural is the first person plural with ''-te'' instead of ''-mo''; The Subjunctive is almost always preceded by the conjunctive word ''che'' (or compounds such as ''perché'', ''affinché'', etc.).


Imperfect subjunctive (''Il congiuntivo imperfetto'')

Used for the subordinate clauses of the Imperfect Indicative or the Conditional. The Imperfect Subjunctive is formed: * for regular verbs, by taking the Infinitive and replacing ''-re'' with ''-ssi'', ''-ssi'', ''-sse'', ''-ssimo'', ''-ste'', ''-ssero''; * for contracted verbs, by taking, instead of the Infinitive, the stem plus the thematic vowel; * the only verbs that form this tense irregularly are ''essere'', ''fare'', ''stare'', ''dare'' (these two follow the pattern of verbs in ''-ere'' rather than the one of verbs in ''-are'').


Past subjunctive (''Il congiuntivo passato'')

Used for subordinate clauses of the imperfect indicative or the conditional. The Subjunctive Perfect is formed the same as the Present Perfect, but with the auxiliary verb in the Subjunctive Present. * amare: ''che abbia amato'' * arrivare: ''che sia arrivato/-a''


Pluperfect subjunctive (''Il congiuntivo trapassato'')

The Subjunctive Pluperfect is formed the same as the Present Perfect, but with the auxiliary verb in the Subjunctive Imperfect. * amare: ''che avessi amato'' * arrivare: ''che fossi arrivato/-a''


The imperative


Imperative (''L’imperativo'')

The imperative is used for giving commands. The second-person singular Imperative is formed: * for regular verbs in ''-are'', by taking the third person singular of the Present (e.g. ''parla'') * for other regular verbs, by taking the second person singular of the Present (e.g. ''prendi'', ''parti'', ''finisci'') * for ''andare'', ''dare'', ''fare'', and ''stare'', by taking the second person singular of the Present, either shortened to the vowel before ''i'' or not (e.g. ''va/va’/vai'' for ''andare'') * for ''dire'', by shortening the stem to ''di’'' * for a few irregular verbs, by taking the singular form of the Subjunctive and replacing final ''-a'' with ''-i'' (e.g. ''vogli'' for ''volere'') The polite form of the singular is identical to the Present Subjunctive. Objective personal pronouns are placed before the verb, unlike other forms of the imperative which have these after the verb (e.g. ''Mi aiuti, per favore!'' "Please help me!" vs. ''Aiutami!'' "Help me!", ''Se ne vada via.'' "Please go away." vs. ''Vattene via!'' (''vattene'' = ''va’'' + ''te'' + ''ne''), etc.). The first-person plural (used for suggestion, e.g. ''andiamo'' "let's go!") is identical to the Present Indicative, but allows for pronominal suffixes (e.g. ''andiamocene'' "let's go away" vs. ''ce ne andiamo'' "we are going away"). The second-person plural is usually identical to the Present Indicative, but in a few irregular cases to the Present Subjunctive. The polite plural is identical to the Present Subjunctive. As with the polite singular, objective personal pronouns come before the verb as opposed to after it. *''credi!'' "believe!" *''crediamo!'' "let's believe!"


Negative imperative

The second person singular uses the infinitive instead of its usual form in the negative, while other forms remain unchanged. *''non credere!'' "don't believe!"


Nominal verb forms

Italian verbs have three additional forms, known as nominal forms, because they can be used as nouns or adjectives, rather than as verbs. * the past participle (''participio passato'') has been discussed above * the present participle (''participio presente'') is used as an adjective or a noun describing someone who is busy doing something. For example, ''parlante'' means "talking" or "someone who is talking": **verbs in ''-are'' form the present participle by adding -ante to the stem **verbs in ''-ere'' and ''-ire'' form the present participle by adding -ente to the stem **''fare'', ''dire'', ''bere'', ''porre'' use their long stems to form resp. ''facente'', ''dicente'', ''bevente'', ''ponente'' **''essere'' has ''essente'' (though very rare) * the gerund (''gerundio'') is the adverbial form of the present participle, and has a very broad use. For example: ''parlando'' can translate to "talking / while talking / by talking / because of one's talking / through talking / …": **the gerund is identical to the present participle, but with final ''-te'' replaced by -do :The gerund can be used in combination with the verb ''stare'' to create continuous expressions. These are similar to English continuous expressions (e.g. ''I am talking'') but they are used much less extensively than in English. :* ''sto lavorando'' "I'm working" :* ''stavo mangiando'' "I was eating" :Keep in mind that the gerund is an adverb, not an adjective, and so it does not agree in gender and number with anything. The ending is always ''-o'': :* ''la ragazza sta mangiando'' "The girl is eating" Like the imperative, all nominal verb forms (including the infinitive) have their objective personal pronouns suffixed rather than placed before them. * ''mi parla'' > ''parlarmi''; (''parlatomi''); (''parlantemi''); ''parlandomi''; ''parlami!'' * ''si pone'' > ''porsi''; (''postosi''); (''ponentesi''); ''ponendosi''; ''poniti!'' * ''me lo dice'' > ''dirmelo''; (''dettomelo''); (''dicentemelo''); ''dicendomelo''; ''dimmelo!'' * ''se ne va via'' > ''andarsene via''; (''andatosene via''); (''andantesene via''); ''andandosene via''; ''vattene via!''

Verbs derived from others (e.g. ''apprèndere'', ''comprèndere'', ''sorprèndere'', ... from ''prèndere'') and the ones which end in the same way (e.g. ''stèndere'', ''rèndere'', ''accèndere'', ...; compare ''véndere'', which is regular) are formed according to the same conjugation.
