I am 41 years old. I am Italian from La Spezia, on the Gulf of Poets.I have been writing since I was thirteen, especially thriller novels and spy stories.In October 2008, I published "Il gene dell'azzardo", a short autobiography about my gambling addiction in 2000-2006. There is now a second edition of this book titled "Il giocatore - il virus dell'azzardo". Unfortunately, it is only available in Italian.In 2010, I published the religious thriller "A hell of a secret: Jesus Christ exposed", ranking among the Top 100 best sellers in the Italian Kindle store for three months in a row.In October 2011, I wrote a series of weird tales and ghost stories. The title is "Lettere dal buio", also available in English as "Darkness, come on in..."Writing is my life, it makes me feel happy and complete. It dignifies me. When I write, I feel like I am not alone.Germano Dalcielo

    Introduction

    Italian verbs are classified into three conjugations according to the ending of the infinitive form:

    1ª coniugazione: verbs that end in –are (fare, dare, mangiare, stare)

    2ª coniugazione: verbs that end in ‒ere (avere, essere, bere, leggere) and also the ones that derive from Latin’s 2nd and 3rd conjugations: trarre, produrre, porre (from Latin trah-ere, produc-ere, pon-ere)

    3ª coniugazione: verbs that end in ‒ire (udire, dormire, uscire, finire)

    Italian verbs are conjugated in the following moods:

    Indicative

    Subjunctive

    Conditional

    Imperative

    Infinitive

    Gerund

    Participle

    And in the following tenses:

    Present

    Compound Past

    Imperfect

    Pluperfect

    Future

    Compound Future

    Simple Past

    Past Perfect

    Italian verbs can be transitive or intransitive, or even both:

    Ho fatto i compiti. (I have done my homework) [transitive]

    Sono andato al lavoro. (I went to work) [intransitive]

    Ho mangiato una mela. (I have eaten an apple) [transitive]

    Ho già mangiato. (I have already eaten) [intransitive]

    Transitive verbs can be conjugated in the active, passive and reflexive voice. Intransitive verbs can only have the active or the reflexive (pronominal) voice:

    Ho lavato l’auto (I have washed) [transitive verb, active voice]

    Sono lavato (I am washed) [passive voice]

    Mi sono lavato (I have washed myself) [reflexive voice]

    Sono andato (I have gone) [intransitive verb, only active]

    Sono morto (I died) [intransitive verb, only active]

    Mi sono pentito (I repented) [intransitive verb, pronominal voice]

    Mi sono dimenticato (I forgot) [intransitive verb, pronominal voice]

    Italian verbs are conjugated in the first, second and third person (singular and plural), either in the masculine or the feminine gender:

    1) Io sono stato / sono stata

    2) Tu sei stato / sei stata

    3) Lui è stato / Lei è stata

    1) Noi siamo stati / siamo state

    2) Voi siete stati / siete state

    3) Essi sono stati / Esse sono state

    In the following pages, you will find 50 Italian irregular verbs conjugated in all the tenses and moods.

    There is no general rule that can help you guess what their endings will be. They are irregular, so you’ll just have to live with it and learn them by heart.
