We went to Italy in the spring of I visited my grandparents in the summer of In the winter of last year there were many traffic accidents.

    Note that a definite article before a day of the week suggests a recurrent event. Domenica andiamo allo zoo. Sunday this coming Sunday we go to the zoo. La domenica andiamo allo zoo. On Sundays every Sunday we go to the zoo. Il sabato usciamo con gli amici. On Saturdays we go out with our friends. Answer the following questions with complete sentences using the indicated words, where given, as guides:.

    Che tempo fa in inverno? Quanti mesi ha un anno? Quanti ne abbiamo oggi? Vai al cinema la domenica? Quali sono i primi tre giorni della settimana? Fa caldo in estate? Cosa fai il sabato? Quale mese viene dopo giugno? Fra gli antichi romani, quale giorno era dedicato a Venere? Da quale parola latina deriva domenica? Tomorrow is Sunday, December 19, March is crazy pazzo. On Wednesday we eat pizza. Tomorrow is the eighth. There are seven days in a week. Yesterday was era October first. I was born Sono nato[-a] in E Sono le due. What time is it? Note that minutes are added to the hour after the conjunction e and up to half past the hour.

    The quarter hour and the half hour may be expressed in two ways. Sono le due e quindici. Sono le due e un quarto. Sono le undici e mezzo mezza. Sono le nove e mezza mezzo. Usually, after the half hour, the minutes are subtracted from the next hour by using the word meno minus. Sono le otto meno un quarto. Although it is not incorrect, one rarely hears the minutes added after the half hour. Here are some examples: Sono le dodici e quaranta. Sono le sette e quarantacinque. Sono le sette e tre quarti. Often, the verb mancare lit. Sono le nove meno quindici.

The Italian hour system simply mentions the numbers from 1 to 24 without indicating the hundreds or the hours.

    With this system, the use of A. Minutes are always added; they are never subtracted. Observe the following comparisons between colloquial time and official time: Note that official time is very popular with the Italians, who use it at all times and for a variety of reasons in addition to the original ones noted above.

    Le nuove paure: Che cosa temiamo oggi?

    Sono le nove di sera. Sono le sei di mattina. Sono le dieci meno cinque di sera. Verbs A verb is a word that indicates an action or a state of being. Italian verbs function in quite a different way from English verbs. In English, a subject pronoun such as I, you, he, or she is used. In Italian, the subject pronouns see pages to are usually omitted since the ending of the verb changes in order to indicate the doer of the action.

    However, subject pronouns must be used for emphasis. Oggi io compro il gelato Today I [meaning: They must also be used for contrast, when two or more subjects perform various actions in the same sentence. Io leggo, Maria scrive, e loro parlano I am reading, Maria is writing, and they are speaking. In order to form tenses, English uses auxiliary verbs such as have and had, and words such as will, would, may, or might before verbs.

    In Italian, a suffix or ending is usually added to the verb in order to indicate the appropriate tense it is never done with compound tenses. As in English, in Italian verbs are also either transitive or intransitive. Transitive verbs take a direct object answering a hypothetical question of Whom? The sentence, Mario vede i nonni Mario sees his grandparents may be the answer to the hypothetical question, Whom is Mario seeing? The sentence Silvana compra una maglia Silvana is buying a sweater may be the answer to the hypothetical question, What is Silvana buying? I nonni in sentence A, and la maglia in sentence B, are both direct objects.

    Whom and What, used in the hypotheticals, are direct object pronouns they substitute the nouns. By using Whom and What, one can test a verb to see whether or not it is transitive or intransitive. Conversely, intransitive verbs do not take direct objects. Therefore the verb abita is intransitive. Each verb, however, does not function as an entity unto itself. Many verbs that are formed in the same way can be grouped together into classes or conjugations.

    In Italian there are three regular conjugations of verbs. The infinitives of first-conjugation verbs end in -are, second-conjugation verbs in -ere, and third-conjugation verbs in -ire. When the endings are dropped, the remaining roots or stems are added to the appropriate endings of the different conjugations. As you will observe in subsequent parts of this chapter, even many so-called irregular verbs have characteristics in common and can be grouped together to facilitate learning.

    The indicative expresses an action in the making or a state of being. It is used for general sayings and proverbs: Chi dorme non piglia pesci: Dormiamo, mangiamo, beviamo, e ci riposiamo: We sleep, eat, drink, and relax. The subjunctive expresses an action that may happen, and always depends on another verb or expression that indicates volition, emotion, doubt, wish, etc.: I miei amici vogliono che io sia sempre pronto a giocare: My friends want me to be always ready to play. The conditional expresses a conditioned response: Saremmo infelici se non avessimo amici!: The imperative expresses volition, orders, wish, prayer, etc.: Ragazzi, non gridate tanto!: Per piacere, siate buoni!: The infinitive expresses an indeterminate action or state of being: To work is tiresome!

    The participle assumes the qualities of the verb and the adjective: Ecco i giovani credenti: Here are the young men who believe. The gerund, like the infinitive, is invariable without number and gender: One learns by studying. In compound tenses, parlare and credere take the auxiliary avere, and partire a verb of motion takes the auxiliary essere. For complete conjugations and details, study the full chapter. Simple Tenses Tempi se. When addressing a friend, some relatives, a child or a close associate, the pronoun tu you is used most of the time.

    Tu is called the familiar singular form.

    Download e-book for iPad: Carnificem by R. J. Black,E. Night - Zui Gao Ji (5A Book Archive

    The plural of tu is voi. Voi is used when addressing two or more friends, relatives, children, or close associates, and often even strangers. Voi, however, can also be used when addressing only one person, such as an older friend, relative, or associate. This is particularly true in some parts of Tuscany and central Italy, and generally in southern Italy. Voi, always with a capital V-, is also widely used in business correspondence when addressing a single person or persons. When addressing a stranger, an acquaintance you do not know very well, or an older person, the pronoun Lei you formal s.

    Lei is called the formal singular and is often capitalized. The plural of Lei is Loro you formal pl. Note that many Italians prefer not to capitalize Lei and Loro. Capitalization of Lei and Loro prevents ambiguity, thus avoiding confusing them with the third person singular form lei she , and the third person plural form loro they. Subject Pronouns I pronomi soggetto Singular Singolare. Signori, dove abitano Loro? Signorine, cosa prendono Loro? Note that, although all subject pronouns show number, only lui he and lei she show gender.

    Note also how capitalization of Lei and Loro distinguishes them from lei and loro. Many of the most frequently used verbs in Italian belong to this conjugation, and a short list of some of them appears below. The present indicative tense of -are verbs is formed by dropping the infinitive ending -are and adding to the resulting root the personal endings -o, -i, -a, -iamo, -ate, -ano. Lui chiama i ragazzi. Loro mandano i pacchi. Io parlo agli amici. Noi firmiamo il documento. Tu nuoti molto bene. Voi cantate ad alta voce. He calls the boys. They send the packages. I speak to my friends.

    We sign the document. You swim very well. You [voi] sing aloud. Do you telephone a lot? Do you work a lot? Since each verb form changes to indicate the person referred to, the subject pronouns are usually omitted. The subject pronouns must be included for emphasis or contrast, however: I buy the tickets. Tu compri i biglietti e io compro i panini. You buy the tickets and I buy the bread rolls. Verbs in -ciare, -giare, -chiare, and -ghiare Like all regular -are verbs, the verbs ending in -Ciare, -giare, -chiare, and -ghiare drop the -are ending before they are conjugated.

    However, they also drop the -i- in the tu and noi forms before the regular endings -i and -iamo are added. Root for the tu and noi forms: Below are some verbs ending in -ciare, -giare, -chiare, and -ghiare.
