15. Basic Grammar: Present Tense Verbs – Regular and Irregular Verbs, Finally Explained! 🧠⏰ #
So far, you’ve learned how to say what you like, prefer, and completely hate.
But how do you talk about what you do every day?
Welcome to the jungle of present tense verbs – where some verbs are well-behaved… and others? Total rebels.
In this unit, you’ll meet both the angels and troublemakers of Italian grammar:
- Regular verbs like parlare, vivere, dormire (They follow the rules! We love them.)
- Irregular verbs like essere, avere, andare (They do their own thing. We tolerate them.)
What You’ll Learn #
- How to conjugate regular -are, -ere, and -ire verbs
- How to spot an irregular verb (hint: it confuses Geoff)
- Useful verbs you’ll actually use in daily conversations
- How to say things like: “I work, you study, Viktor sleeps, Geoff eats pasta.”
You’ll Also Practice: #
- Making full sentences with correct verb forms
- Understanding subject pronouns (io, tu, lui/lei…)
- Conjugation games that are actually fun (we promise)
Grammar doesn’t have to be scary — especially when there’s pizza vocabulary involved.
