Lesson focus |
|---|
| Cinzia: Today’s grammar point will be very short. As we shall see, only the third and last category of verbs that follow any regular inflection in condizionale presente tense. |
| Marco: Including all the verbs that contract their infinitive form, losing the last two vowels and changing the second-last consonant to -r-. |
| Cinzia: Let’s see how to conjugate them. |
| Marco: First - take the infinitive of the verb. |
| Cinzia: venire |
| Marco: “To come.” Second - drop the last two vowels. |
| Cinzia: venr |
| Marco: Third - change the second-last consonant to -r-. |
| Cinzia: verr |
| Marco: Fourth - add the appropriate endings. Let’s now see this verb’s complete conjugation. |
| Cinzia: Io verr-ei |
| Marco: “I would come” |
| Cinzia: Tu verr -esti |
| Marco: “You would come” |
| Cinzia: Lui/lei verr –ebbe |
| Marco: “He/she/it would come” |
| Cinzia: Noi verr -emmo |
| Marco: “We would come” |
| Cinzia: Voi verr -este |
| Marco: “You would come” |
| Cinzia: Loro verr -ebbero |
| Marco: “They would come.” |
| Cinzia: Let’s now see the verbs that belong to this category. |
| Marco: We shall give you first the English infinitive, then the Italian infinitive, and finally, the first person presente condizionale. “to hold; to keep” |
| Cinzia: tener-e, terr-ei |
| Marco: “to stay; to remain” |
| Cinzia: rimaner-e, rimarr-ei |
| Marco: “to want; to wish” |
| Cinzia: voler-e, vorr-ei |
| Marco: “to come” |
| Cinzia: venir-e, verr-ei |
| Marco: “to be worth” |
| Cinzia: valer-e, varr-ei |
| Marco: “to drink” |
| Cinzia: ber-e, berr-ei |
| Marco: Please note that the verb bere does not change its first consonant. It simply doubles its ending -r-. |
Outro |
| Marco: That just about does it for today. Okay, bye! See you next time! |
| Cinzia: Ciao! |
