GrammarConjugating regular Italian verbs in the future tenseThe future tense is actually relatively easy to learn. In essence all three conjugations have the same endings. The only difference is for IRE and ERE verbs you just drop the final E and add the endings but for the ARE verbs you drop the ARE then ad ER and the endings. This is illustrated below.To illustrate how to conjugate these verbs, I like to use math equations as an example but first here are the conjugated endings for all regular verbs;
To conjugate the regular ARE verbs in the future tense = infinitive verb – infinitive ending = verb stem + "er" + conjugated ending = conjugated verb. Example; Parlare (To Speak) - are = Parl + er = Parler + emo (ending for we) = Parleremo (We will speak) Parlare conjugated in the future tense
To conjugate the regular ERE verbs in the future tense = infinitive verb – the final "e" + conjugated ending = conjugated verb. Example; leggere (To Read) - e = legger + emo (ending for we) = Leggeremo (We will read) Leggere conjugated in the future tense
To conjugate the regular IRE verbs in the future tense = infinitive verb – the final "e" + conjugated ending = conjugated verb. Example; vestire (To dress) - e = vestir + emo (ending for we) = Vestiremo (We will dress) Vestire conjugated in the future tense
There are verbs in all three conjugations that have irregular stems that they use with the same endings. These verbs will be covered in another lesson. Conjunctions o “le congiunzioni”This is by no means an exhaustive list of words used as conjunctions but it is a good start!

ComprehensionCiao Carlo.Ciao Giovanni, come stai oggi? Sto bene, grazie! Che cosa fai oggi? Oggi studio perchè domani devo andare a lezione. È la tua lezione di italiano? Sì, la lingua italiana è bella. Segui anche altre lezioni? No, studio solo italiano. Non ho bisogno di altre lezioni. È difficile imparare una lingua nuova! Che cosa studierete domani? Ti piace quello che studi? Sì, domani studieremo il tempo futuro dei verbi regolari. Mi piace imparare il tempo futuro perché posso dire più cose in italiano. Capisco Carlo. È difficile dire che cosa farai in futuro quando tu sai solo il tempo presente. Capisci bene il tempo futuro? Hai bisogno di aiuto? Grazie ma non ho bisogno di aiuto oggi. Questo libro è facile da capire ed io scrivo sempre molti appunti in classe. Li vedo, bravo! Perché vai a scuola se puoi imparare da un libro? Perché il nostro insegnante è magnifico! Durante la sua lezione parla sempre di cose che non troverò nel libro e poi possiamo domandare quello che non capiamo. Perciò continuerò ad andare a scuola perché il professore mi aiuta molto! Ci sono molti studenti nella tua classe? Ci sono dodici studenti però quattro sono francesi e non capiscono molto bene la lingua e quindi noi parleremo molto in italiano. Le lezioni sono all'università? No, ci riuniamo alla scuola elementare. Mi dispiace ma devo andare perché devo comprare una matita o una penna prima che chiude il negozio. Va bene, Ciao. Ciao. | ||||||||||||||
