Lesson focus |
|---|
| Cinzia: The Futuro Semplice tense of all three conjugations verbs is realized by dropping the ending vowel from the infinitive and adding the appropriate endings. |
| Marco: just the ending vowel, not the whole last syllable as it would normally be the case. |
| Cinzia: Please note that only the first conjugation verbs change the last syllable vowel from -a to -e. |
| Marco: Here are the necessary steps to inflect first conjugation verbs, first, take the infinitive of the verb |
| Cinzia: for example, guidare “to drive, infinitive” |
| Marco: second, drop the final vowel |
| Cinzia: guidar |
| Marco: third, change the last syllable vowel to -e-, keeping the rest as it is |
| Cinzia: guider |
| Marco: fourth, add the appropriate endings. |
| Cinzia: that are |
| -ò |
| -ai |
| -à |
| -emo |
| -ete |
| -anno |
| Cinzia: let us now take a look at the Futuro semplice of the verb nuotare |
| Marco: “to swim” |
| Cinzia: Io nuoter-ò |
| Marco: I will swim |
| Cinzia: Tu nuoter -ai |
| Marco: You will swim |
| Cinzia: Lui/lei nuoter-à |
| Marco: He/she/it will swim |
| Cinzia: Noi nuoter-emo |
| Marco: We will swim |
| Cinzia: Voi nuoter-ete |
| Marco: You will swim |
| Cinzia: Loro nuoter-anno |
| Marco: They will swim |
| Marco: Due to the change of last syllable vowel, first conjugation verbs whose root ends with the letters C or G add the letter H between the root and stem, in order to keep the /k/ or /g/ sound. |
| Cinzia: For example, pagare |
| Marco: “to pay” |
| Cinzia: Io pagher -ò |
| Marco: I will pay |
| Cinzia: Tu pagher -ai |
| Marco: You will pay |
| Cinzia: Lui/lei pagher -à |
| Marco: He/she/it will pay |
| Cinzia: Noi pagher -emo |
| Marco: We will pay |
| Cinzia: Voi pagher -ete |
| Marco: You will pay |
| Cinzia: Loro pagher -anno |
| Marco: They will pay |
| marco: Finally first conjugation verbs whose root ends with the vowel -i-, drop it before adding the endings |
| Cinzia: Let us see how this happens with the verb rinunciare |
| Marco: “to renounce; to give up” |
| Cinzia: Io rinuncer -ò |
| Marco: I will give up |
| Cinzia: Tu rinuncer -ai |
| Marco: You will give up |
| Cinzia: Lui/lei rinuncer -à |
| Marco: He/she/it will give up |
| Cinzia: Noi rinuncer -emo |
| Marco: We will give up |
| Cinzia: Voi rinuncer -ete |
| Marco: You will give up |
| Cinzia: Loro rinuncer -anno |
| Marco: They will give up |
