Conjugation of irregular verbs ending in -are
Lesson Outline
HideWhich are the irregular verbs of the -are conjugation
The Italian irregular verbs that belong to the 1st conjugation are just four:
- andare (to go)
- fare (to do/make)
- stare (to stay)
- dare (to give)
These verbs are irregular because they do not follow the grammatical rules all other verbs of the same conjugation follow. This is why their conjugation has to be studied by heart.
Remember that some verbs that contain the irregular verbs follow the conjugation of the irregular verb that they contain.
