{{Italian language}}
Italian verbs have a high degree of inflection, the majority of which follows one of three common patterns of conjugation. Italian conjugation is affected by mood, person, tense, number, aspect and occasionally gender.
The three classes of verbs (patterns of conjugation) are distinguished by the endings of the infinitive form of the verb:
- 1st conjugation: -are (amàre "to love", parlàre "to talk, to speak");
- 2nd conjugation: -ere (crédere "to believe", ricévere "to receive", vedére "to see");
- {{lang|it|-arre}}, {{lang|it|-orre}} and {{lang|it|-urre}} are considered part of the 2nd conjugation, as they are derived from Latin {{lang|la|-ere}} but had lost their internal e after the suffix fused to the stem's vowel (a, o and u);
- 3rd conjugation: -ire (dormìre "to sleep");
- 3rd conjugation {{lang|it|-ire}} with infixed {{lang|it|-isc-}} (finìre "to end, to finish").Such verbs with the {{lang|it|-isc}} infix correspond to English Romance-origin verbs that end in "-ish", such as "finish", "punish", "accomplish", "extinguish", and so on.
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 èssere "to be", and somewhat less extremely, avére "to have", the least predictable. Others, such as andàre "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 suppletion, historical sound change or analogical developments.Aski, Janice M. 1995. Verbal Suppletion: An Analysis of Italian, French, and Spanish to go. Linguistics 33.403-32.
The suffixes that form the infinitive are always stressed, except for {{lang|it|-ere}}, which is stressed in some verbs (e.g. {{lang|it|vedere}} {{IPA|/veˈdeːre/}} "to see") and unstressed in others (e.g. {{lang|it|prendere}} {{IPA|/ˈprɛndere/}} "to take"). A few verbs have a contracted infinitive, but use their uncontracted stem in most conjugations. Fare comes from Latin facere, which can be seen in many of its forms. Similarly, dire ("to say") comes from dīcere, bere ("to drink") comes from bibere and porre ("to put") comes from pōnere.
Together with the traditional patterns of conjugation, new classes and patterns have been suggested, in order to include common verbs such as {{lang|it|avviare}}, which exhibit a quite different form and stress pattern.thebigbook-2ed, pp. 113-120

- {{lang|it|io credo}} "I believe"
- {{lang|it|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.
- {{lang|it|credo}} "I believe"
- {{lang|it|credi}} "you believe" (2nd pers. sing.)
- {{lang|it|crede}} "he/she believes"
The pronoun tu (and corresponding verb forms) is used in the singular towards children, family members and close friends (cf. "thou"), whereas voi is used in the same manner in the plural (cf. "ye"). The pronouns Lei and Loro (though much more commonly just voi) are used towards older people, strangers and very important or respectable people. Note that lei and loro can also mean "she" and "they", respectively.
- {{lang|it|Lei va}} "you are going" (formal)
- {{lang|it|tu vai}} "you are going" (informal)
- {{lang|it|vai}} "you are going" (informal)
- {{lang|it|va}} "you are going" (formal)
The irregular verb essere has the same form in the first person singular and third person plural.
- sono "I am"/"they are"
The forms vado and faccio are the standard Italian first person singular forms of the verbs andare and fare, but vo and fo are used in the Tuscan dialect.
The infix {{lang|it|-isc-}} varies in pronunciation between {{IPA|/isk/}} and {{IPA|/iʃʃ/}}, depending on the following vowel. Similar alternations are found in other verbs:
The past
=Present perfect (''Il passato prossimo'')=
The present perfect is used for single actions or events ({{lang|it|stamattina sono andato a scuola}} "I went to school this morning"), or change in state ({{lang|it|si è arrabbiato quando gliel’ho detto}} "he got angry when I told him that"), contrasting with the imperfect which is used for habits ({{lang|it|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 ({{lang|it|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. {{lang|it|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 {{lang|it|-are}} add {{lang|it|-ato}} to the stem: {{lang|it|parlato}}, {{lang|it|amato}};
- some verbs in {{lang|it|-ere}} add {{lang|it|-uto}} to the stem: {{lang|it|creduto}};
- verbs in {{lang|it|-ire}} add {{lang|it|-ito}} to the stem: {{lang|it|partito}}, {{lang|it|finito}};
- other verbs in {{lang|it|-ere}} are irregular, they mutate the stem and add {{lang|it|-o}}, {{lang|it|-so}}, {{lang|it|-sto}} or {{lang|it|-tto}} to the stem: {{lang|it|preso}} {{IPA|/ˈpreːzo, ˈpreːso/}} (from {{lang|it|prendere}}), {{lang|it|letto}} {{IPA|/ˈlɛtto/}} (from {{lang|it|leggere}}), {{lang|it|rimasto}} (from {{lang|it|rimanere}});
- {{lang|it|fare}} and {{lang|it|dire}} do exactly the same thing: {{lang|it|fatto}} (from {{lang|it|fare}}), {{lang|it|detto}} {{IPA|/ˈdetto/}} (from {{lang|it|dire}}). Compounds from the root {{lang|it|-durre}} similarly have {{lang|it|-dotto}} {{IPA|/ˈdotto/}};
- {{lang|it|venire}} has {{lang|it|venuto}} and {{lang|it|bere}} has {{lang|it|bevuto}};
- {{lang|it|stare}} and {{lang|it|essere}} both have {{lang|it|stato}}.
==Verbs with ''avere''==
All transitive verbs and most intransitive verbs form the present perfect by combining the auxiliary verb {{lang|it|avere}} "to have" in the present tense with the past participle of the transitive verb.
class="wikitable" | |
{{lang|it|am}}{{lang|it|are}} | |
---|---|
{{lang|it|io}} | {{lang|it|ho}} {{lang|it|am}}{{lang|it|ato}} |
{{lang|it|tu}} | {{lang|it|hai}} {{lang|it|am}}{{lang|it|ato}} |
{{lang|it|lui / lei / Lei}} | {{lang|it|ha}} {{lang|it|am}}{{lang|it|ato}} |
{{lang|it|noi}} | {{lang|it|abbiamo}} {{lang|it|am}}{{lang|it|ato}} |
{{lang|it|voi}} | {{lang|it|avete}} {{lang|it|am}}{{lang|it|ato}} |
{{lang|it|loro / Loro}} | {{lang|it|hanno}} {{lang|it|am}}{{lang|it|ato}} |
Except with an immediately preceding third person pronominal direct object, the participle always ends in {{lang|it|-o}}.
- {{lang|it|il ragazzo che ho visto}} "the boy I saw"
- {{lang|it|l’ho visto}} "I saw him"
- {{lang|it|ho visto il ragazzo}} "I saw the boy"
- {{lang|it|la ragazza che ho visto}} "the girl I saw"
- {{lang|it|l’ho vista}} "I saw her"
- {{lang|it|ho visto la ragazza}} "I saw the girl"
==Verbs with ''essere''==
A small number of intransitive verbs, namely {{lang|it|essere}} itself and verbs indicating motion ({{lang|it|venire}} "to come", {{lang|it|andare}} "to go", {{lang|it|arrivare}} "to arrive", etc.) use the auxiliary verb {{lang|it|essere}} instead of {{lang|it|avere}}. The past participle in this agrees with gender and number of the subject.
class="wikitable" | |
{{lang|it|arriv}}{{lang|it|are}} | |
---|---|
{{lang|it|io}} | {{lang|it|sono}} {{lang|it|arriv}}{{lang|it|ato}}/{{lang|it |
a}} | |
{{lang|it|tu}} | {{lang|it|sei}} {{lang|it|arriv}}{{lang|it|ato}}/{{lang|it |
a}} | |
{{lang|it|lui / lei / Lei}} | {{lang|it|è}} {{lang|it|arriv}}{{lang|it|ato}}/{{lang|it |
a}} | |
{{lang|it|noi}} | {{lang|it|siamo}} {{lang|it|arriv}}{{lang|it|ati}}/{{lang|it |
e}} | |
{{lang|it|voi}} | {{lang|it|siete}} {{lang|it|arriv}}{{lang|it|ati}}/{{lang|it |
e}} | |
{{lang|it|loro / Loro}} | {{lang|it|sono}} {{lang|it|arriv}}{{lang|it|ati}}/{{lang|it |
e}} |
When using {{lang|it|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:
- {{lang|it|-o}} masculine singular
- {{lang|it|-a}} feminine singular
- {{lang|it|-i}} masculine plural
- {{lang|it|-e}} feminine plural
Reflexive verbs always use {{lang|it|essere}}, and their past participle agrees with the subject or with third person object pronouns, if these precede the verb.
- {{lang|it|mi sono lavato/-a}} "I washed myself"
- {{lang|it|ci siamo visti/-e}} "we saw each other"
- {{lang|it|si è lavato le gambe}} "he washed his legs"
- {{lang|it|se le è lavate, le gambe}} "he washed them, his legs"
- {{lang|it|ci siamo parlati}} "we talked to each other"
=Imperfect (''L’imperfetto'')=
The Imperfect fuses past tense with imperfective aspect 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 aspects can be illustrated clearly with the verb {{lang|it|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: {{lang|it|Sapevo la verità}}. 'I knew the truth.' Perfective: {{lang|it|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 {{lang|it|v}} + the ending of the '{{lang|it|-are}}' verbs in the present tense (with {{lang|it|-amo}} instead of {{lang|it|-iamo}}). There are no irregular conjugations in the Imperfect except for {{lang|it|essere}}, which uses the stem {{lang|it|er-}} and {{lang|it|v}} appears only in 1st and 2nd person plurals. Verbs with contracted infinitive forms use their full stems, e.g. {{lang|it|dicevo}} (infinitive {{lang|it|dire}}), {{lang|it|facevo}} (infinitive {{lang|it|fare}}), {{lang|it|bevevo}} (infinitive {{lang|it|bere}}), {{lang|it|ponevo}} (infinitive {{lang|it|porre}}).

=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 {{lang|it|-i}}, {{lang|it|-sti}}, main stress, {{lang|it|-mmo}}, {{lang|it|-ste}}, and {{lang|it|-rono}}. Verbs in {{lang|it|-are}} have {{lang|it|-ò}} in the third person singular instead of the expected {{lang|it|-à}}:
- {{lang|it|amare}}: {{lang|it|amai}}, {{lang|it|amasti}}, {{lang|it|amò}}, {{lang|it|amammo}}, {{lang|it|amaste}}, {{lang|it|amarono}}
- {{lang|it|credere}}: {{lang|it|credei}}, {{lang|it|credesti}}, {{lang|it|credé}}, {{lang|it|credemmo}}, {{lang|it|credeste}}, {{lang|it|crederono}}
- {{lang|it|dormire}}: {{lang|it|dormii}}, {{lang|it|dormisti}}, {{lang|it|dormì}}, {{lang|it|dormimmo}}, {{lang|it|dormiste}}, {{lang|it|dormirono}}
- Irregular verbs, which are almost exclusively of the second conjugation, have irregular stems to which the endings {{lang|it|-i}}, {{lang|it|-e}}, and {{lang|it|-ero}} are added to form the first-person singular and third-person singular and plural forms, respectively, and, with the exception of {{lang|it|venire}}, which takes the normal third conjugation endings, the second conjugation endings {{lang|it|-esti}}, {{lang|it|-emmo}}, and {{lang|it|-este}} are added to the normal stem to form the second-person singular and first- and second-person plural forms, respectively ({{lang|it|dire}}, {{lang|it|bere}}, {{lang|it|fare}}, and {{lang|it|porre}} use their long stems here, as usual):
- {{lang|it|rompere}}: {{lang|it|ruppi}}, {{lang|it|rompesti}}, {{lang|it|ruppe}}, {{lang|it|rompemmo}}, {{lang|it|rompeste}}, {{lang|it|ruppero}}
- {{lang|it|vedere}}: {{lang|it|vidi}}, {{lang|it|vedesti}}, {{lang|it|vide}}, {{lang|it|vedemmo}}, {{lang|it|vedeste}}, {{lang|it|videro}}
- {{lang|it|dire}}: {{lang|it|dissi}}, {{lang|it|dicesti}}, {{lang|it|disse}}, {{lang|it|dicemmo}}, {{lang|it|diceste}}, {{lang|it|dissero}}
- Some verbs in {{lang|it|-ere}} that follow the regular pattern ({{lang|it|-ei}}, {{lang|it|-esti}}, etc.) have an alternative form in {{lang|it|-etti}} which follows the irregular pattern:
- {{lang|it|credere}}: {{lang|it|credetti}} (= {{lang|it|credei}}), {{lang|it|credesti}}, {{lang|it|credette}} (= {{lang|it|credé}}), {{lang|it|credemmo}}, {{lang|it|credeste}}, {{lang|it|credettero}} (= {{lang|it|crederono}})
- {{lang|it|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.
- {{lang|it|amare}}: {{lang|it|avevo amato}}
- {{lang|it|arrivare}}: {{lang|it|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 {{lang|it|trapassato remoto}}.
- {{lang|it|amare}}: {{lang|it|ebbi amato}}
- {{lang|it|arrivare}}: {{lang|it|fui arrivato/-a}}
The future
=Future (''Il futuro semplice'')=
The future tense is used for events that will happen in the future. It is formed by adding the forms of {{lang|it|avere}} to the Infinitive (with {{lang|it|abbiamo}} and {{lang|it|avete}} contracted to {{lang|it|-emo}} and {{lang|it|-ete}} respectively). Sometimes the Infinitive undergoes some changes:
- it always loses its final {{lang|it|e}};
- verbs in {{lang|it|-are}} end in {{lang|it|-er}}, not in {{lang|it|-ar}};
- {{lang|it|stare}}, {{lang|it|dare}}, {{lang|it|fare}} however retain {{lang|it|star-}}, {{lang|it|dar-}}, {{lang|it|far-}};
- most irregular verbs lose the vowel before the last {{lang|it|r}} altogether (e.g. {{lang|it|avr-}} for {{lang|it|avere}} and {{lang|it|andr-}} for {{lang|it|andare}}). Clusters {{lang|it|-nr-}} and {{lang|it|-lr-}} are simplified to {{lang|it|-rr}} (e.g. {{lang|it|verr-}} for {{lang|it|venire}});
- contracted infinitives are retained (e.g. {{lang|it|porr-}} for {{lang|it|porre}});
- {{lang|it|essere}} has {{lang|it|sar-}}.
To these, the respective suffixes {{lang|it|-ò}}, {{lang|it|-ai}}, {{lang|it|-à}}, {{lang|it|-emo}}, {{lang|it|-ete}}, {{lang|it|-anno}} are added. Historically speaking, these are derived from the present forms of the verb {{lang|it|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.
- {{lang|it|amare}}: {{lang|it|avrò amato}}
- {{lang|it|arrivare}}: {{lang|it|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 {{lang|it|avere}} (with {{lang|it|ebbi}}, avesti, avemmo, aveste contracted to {{lang|it|-ei}}, {{lang|it|-esti}}, {{lang|it|-emmo}}, {{lang|it|-este}} resp.).

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.
- {{lang|it|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 possibility, opinion, desire, or doubt.
The Subjunctive is formed:
- for regular verbs in {{lang|it|-are}}, by taking the root and adding {{lang|it|-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.).

- for contracted verbs, by taking, instead of the Infinitive, the stem plus the thematic vowel;
- the only verbs that form this tense irregularly are {{lang|it|essere}}, fare, {{lang|it|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.
- {{lang|it|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.
- {{lang|it|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 {{lang|it|-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 {{lang|it|andare}}, dare, {{lang|it|fare}}, and stare*, by taking the second person singular of the Present, either shortened to the vowel before i or not (e.g. va’/vai for andare)
- for {{lang|it|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 {{lang|it|-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.

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 {{lang|it|-ere}} and -ire form the present participle by adding -ente {{IPA|/ˈɛnte/}} to the stem
- fare, dire, {{lang|it|bere}}, {{lang|it|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 {{lang|it|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!
