  1. Il Presente (Present Tense) Verbi Regolari –are (Regular –are verbs)

  2. I Verbi: • Verbs are “action words” = to do something • There are 3 verb families in Italian: -ARE, -ERE, -IRE (based on the endings of the infinitives of the verbs) • The following are example verb infinitives: verb form that is found in the dictionary • Ex: -ARE = Ballare = to dance • Ex: -ERE = Leggere = to read • EX: -IRE = Uscire = to go out

  3. Every verb has 2 partsThe stem + ending • The stem of a verb is the part of the verb you get when you take the –are, -ere or –ire off of the infinitive • Ex: Infinitive: Stem: Parlare Parl Scrivere Scriv Dormire Dorm

  4. Parlare = parl Cantare = cant Nuotare = nuot Studiare = studi Lavorare = lavor Suonare = suon The stem of common –ARE verbs:

  5. Conjugation = changing the endings of the verb so that the verb agrees with the subject of the sentence (person doing the action of the verb) In English, we conjugate our verbs without thinking about it. We say “I speak, he speaks, we speak.” We don’t realize we are changing out endings. In Italian, the endings are more exact and there are different endings on the stem of the verb for each person doing the action so we know who is doing the action by the endings of the verb. Conjugation of verbs:

  6. Singular io I tu you (familiar) lui he lei she Lei you (formal) Plural noi we voi you all (familiar) loro They Loro you all (formal) Ripasso dei Pronomi Personali(Subject pronouns in review)

  7. There are endings of the verb for each subject pronoun in Italian. Therefore, each ending is different for the subject of the sentence. To conjugate a verb there are 2 parts: drop the infinitive and add the ending for each pronoun to the stem: ex: Parlare = to speak stem = parl io parlo noi parliamo tu parli voi parlate lui parla loro parlano lei/Leiparla Loro parlano Conjugation of verbs cont’d:

  8. As you can see, we add the new ending to the stem of the verb for each subject pronoun. This conjugates the verb from the infinitive form and gives us the new meaning. The present tense form the verb has two possible meanings after being conjugated: io parlo = I speak/ I am speaking tu parli = you speak/ you are speaking lei/lui parla = she/he speaks/ she/he is speaking noi parliamo = we speak / we are speaking voi parlate = you all speak / you all are speaking loro/Loro parlano = they/you all speak/are speaking
