    2. Verbs are presented 2 ways:the infinitive and conjugated forms

    3. infinitive = “to” . . . In English: In Italian: to eat mangiare to dance ballare to read leggere

    4. • most of the time infinitives are not used. • more often we use the “conjugated” form which varies according to who you are talking about

    5. conjugated forms are always presented in the same order of forms I you he/she we you guys they

    6. singular 1st person io (I) 2nd person tu (you) 3rd person lui/lei (he/she) plural 1st person noi (we) 2nd person voi (you guys) 3rd person loro (they)

    7. verbs can be either regular or irregular. Regular verbs follow a set pattern and irregular verbs follow no set pattern.

    8. Conjugating regular verbs is easy once you learn the pattern. Conjugating irregular verbs is more challenging: when you study irregular verbs you must learn all 6 forms.

    9. The first 2 verbs we will study, 2 of the most common in Italian, are irregular verbs: avere (to have) essere (to be)

    10. Avere (to have) (infinitive) io ho tu hai lui/lei ha noi abbiamo voi avete loro hanno

    11. avere is used in many “idiomatic expressions” An idiomatic expression is one that when translated literally doesn’t make sense, but when considered as an expression, does make sense An English example would be “raining cats and dogs”

    12. avere paura di . . .(to be afraid of) avere fame (to be hungry) avere sete (to be thirsty) avere ragione (to be right) avere torto (to be wrong) avere bisogno di . . . (to have a need of) avere voglia di . . . (to have a desire of)

    13. avere paura di (to be afraid of) avere sonno (to be sleepy) avere freddo (to feel cold) avere caldo (to feel hot) avere fretta (to be in a hurry) avere . . . anni (indicates age)

    14. Come si dice? I am tired. He is hungry. They are cold. She is 18. You are in a hurry.

    15. I am tired. Io ho sonno. He is hungry. Lui ha fame. They are cold. Loro hanno freddo. She is 18. Lei ha 18 anni. You are in a hurry. Tu hai fretta.

    16. essere (to be) (infinitive) io sono tu sei lui/lei e’ noi siamo voi siete loro sono

    17. Since the verb form indicates the subject, the subject pronoun is optional. Io sono contenta. Sono contenta. Sono contenta io.
