Italian Verbs

3 Big Groups of Words

• Verbs ending in –ARE

• Verbs ending in – ERE

• Verbs ending in – IRE

Page 4: Verbs = Actions Lets look at some action words in English. What do you notice?

“To” = “-are, -ere, -ire”

All verbs in their –are, -ere, -ire forms do NOT indicate the person who’s doing the action but only

general actions.

Ex. Parlare italiano e’ importante: Speaking Italian is important (not

somebody specifically, but in general).
