Below we will see how the present subjunctive in Italian is formed.
Regular verbs in Italian present subjunctive are formed through specific endings. These endings are different according to the conjugations (-are, -ere, -ire).
| Root | Ending | Example | Translation |
---|---|---|---|---|
(Che) io | guard | -i | Nonostante io guardi sempre la partita, non conosco tutti i giocatori. | Even though I always watch the football game, I don't remember all the players' names. |

(Che) voi | guard | -iate* | È importante che guardiate i dettagli del quadro per capire lo stile dell'artista. | It is important for you to look closely at the picture details in order to understand the painter style. |
(Che) essi /esse | guard | -ino | Nonostante guardino sempre prima di attraversare la strada, spesso i pedoni sono vittima di incidenti. | Although pedestrians always look around before they cross the street, it's often dangerous for them. |
Root | Ending | Example | Translation | |

(Che) essi / esse | tem | -ano | Non credo proprio che loro ci temano. | I don't believe they are afraid of us. |

(Che) essi / esse | sent | -ano | Benché non mi sentano, ho paura di cosa potrebbero pensare. | Although they can't hear me, I am afraid of what they could think about me. |
* Remember! The Italian present subjunctive uses the same suffix of the presente indicativo for the 1° plural person (e.g. -iamo) and the same suffix for the 2° plural person in all the conjugations (-iate).
In Italian, there are many irregular verbs that don't follow any inflectional pattern or any grammatical rule. These verbs have to be studied by heart. Nonetheless, they can be gathered together inside the conjugation groups due to their infinitive suffixes (-are, -ere, -ire).
Let's briefly see some examples.
The main and only irregular verbs of the 1° conjugation (their infinitive form ends with -are suffix) are: dare (to give), stare (to stay), andare (to go), fare (to do).
Verb form | Example | Translation | |
---|---|---|---|
(Che) io | dia | Vuole che gli dia il mio numero. | She wants me to give her my number. |
(Che) tu | dia | Pensa che tu dia confidenza agli estranei. | He thinks you are to much friendly with strangers. |
(Che) egli / ella | dia | Dia a suo fratello quel che le pare! | Let her give her brother what she wants! |
(Che) noi | diamo | Temono che diamo tutti i vestiti vecchi in beneficienza. | They're afraid that we give all the old clothes for charity. |
(Che) voi | diate | Prima che diate via quelle scarpe, controllatene lo stato. | Before you will give away those shoes, check their status. |
(Che) essi / esse | diano | Dubito che diano quei gadget gratis. | I doubt that they are giving those gadgets for free. |
Verb form | Example | Translation | |
---|---|---|---|
(Che) io | stia | Pensi che io stia qui a non far nulla? | Do you think I am here doing nothing? |
(Che) tu | stia | Perché tu stia bene, devi prenderti una pausa. | You have to take a break to be fine. |
(Che) egli / ella | stia | Mi chiedo se stia bene. | I wonder if she is fine. |
(Che) noi | stiamo | Pensate sempre che noi stiamo troppo tempo per conto nostro. | You always think that we are staying too much time on our own. |
(Che) voi | stiate | Per me è davvero importante che voi stiate bene qui. | It's really important to me that you are fine here. |
(Che) essi / esse | stiano | Sono sicuro che stiano qui! | I'm sure they are staying here! |
Verb form | Example | Translation | |
---|---|---|---|
(Che) io | vada | Desidera che io vada via per un po'. | She wish I went away for a while. |
(Che) tu | vada | Non voglio che tu vada alla festa senza di me. | I don't want you to go to the party without me. |
(Che) egli / ella | vada | Dubito che vada a Manchester questa estate. | I doubt she'll go to Manchester this summer. |
(Che) noi | andiamo | È meglio che andiamo via da qui. | It's better for us to go away from here. |
(Che) voi | andiate | Prima che andiate, potreste gettare via la spazzatura? | Before you go, could you throw away the trash? |
(Che) essi / esse | vadano | Nonostante vadano di fretta, non dimenticano mai di salutare. | Even though they always go away quickly, they never forget their goodbyes. |
Verb form | Example | Translation | |
---|---|---|---|
(Che) io | faccia | Pensa che io faccia troppo spesso la doccia. | He thinks I take the shower too often. |
(Che) tu | faccia | Per evitare che tu faccia troppi sforzi, sono venuta ad aiutarti. | I've come to help you to avoid you'll make a great deal of effort. |
(Che) egli / ella | faccia | Dicono che la plastica non faccia bene all'ambiente. | They say plastic isn't good for the environment. |
(Che) noi | facciamo | Ci stanno chiedendo cosa facciamo. | They're asking us what we are doing. |
(Che) voi | facciate | Temo facciate tardi di nuovo. | I'm afraid you will be late again. |
(Che) essi / essa | facciano | Non ho idea di cosa facciano. | I don't have a clue of what they're doing. |
The 2° conjugation (infinitive form ends with -ere suffix) of presente congiuntivo is probably the richest of irregular forms; here we have:
Potere (to can) | Dovere (to must) | Sapere (to know) | Volere (to want) | Scegliere (to choose) | Porre (to put) | Rimanere (to remain) | Bere (to drink) | Sedere (to sit) | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(Che) io | possa | debba | sappia | voglia | scelga | ponga | rimanga | beva | sieda |
(Che) tu | possa | debba | sappia | voglia | scelga | ponga | rimanga | beva | sieda |
(Che) egli / ella | possa | debba | sappia | voglia | scelga | ponga | rimanga | beva | sieda |
(Che) noi | possiamo | dobbiamo | sappiamo | vogliamo | scegliamo | poniamo | rimaniamo | beviamo | sediamo |
(Che) voi | possiate | dobbiate | sappiate | vogliate | scegliate | poniate | rimaniate | beviate | sediate |
(Che) essi / esse | possano | debbano | sappiano | vogliano | scelgano | pongano | rimangano | bevano | siedano |
We can divide the 3° conjugation verbs (ending with -ire suffix) in two main groups:
Finire (to finish) | Dire (to say) | Uscire (to exit) | Morire (to die) | Venire (to come) | Udire (to hear) | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
(Che) io | finisca | dica | esca | muoia | venga | oda |
(Che) tu | finisca | dica | esca | muoia | venga | oda |
(Che) egli / ella | finisca | dica | esca | muoia | venga | oda |
(Che) noi | finiamo | diciamo | usciamo | moriamo | veniamo | udiamo |
(Che) voi | finiate | diciate | usciate | moriate | veniate | udiate |
(Che) essi / esse | finiscano | dicano | escano | muoiano | vengano | odano |
Essere (to be) and avere (to have) are the main auxiliary verbs in Italian.
Essere is the most irregular verb in Italian. Let's see the following examples.
Verb form | Example | Translation | |
---|---|---|---|
(Che) io | sia | Benché io sia altruista, c'è un limite a tutto. | Although I am a generous person, there is a limit to everything. |
(Che) tu | sia | Non posso credere che sia tu! | I can't believe you are the one! |
(Che) egli / ella | sia | Credi sia lui la persona che cercano? | Do you think he is the one they're looking for? |
(Che) noi | siamo | Penso che siamo nel posto giusto. | I think we are in the right place. |
(Che) voi | siate | Spero voi siate sicuri di ciò che fate. | I hope you are sure of what you are doing. |
(Che) essi / esse | siano | Dubito che siano così antipatici come sembrano. | I am not sure they are so unpleasant as they seem. |
Avere forms the present subjunctive irregularly as well.
Verb form | Example | Translation | |
---|---|---|---|
(Che) io | abbia | Non credere che io non abbia sonno! | Don't think that I am not tired! |
(Che) tu | abbia | Ritengo che tu abbia ragione. | I think you are right. |
(Che) egli / ella | abbia | Che abbia perso le chiavi? | Would he have lost his keys? |
(Che) noi | abbiamo | Direi che abbiamo tutto. | I suppose we have everything. |
(Che) voi | abbiate | Penso che abbiate torto. | I think you are wrong. |
(Che) essi / esse | abbiano | Non credo che abbiano le forze. | I don't believe they are strong enough. |

Hi!
My name is Mariateresa, I'm Italian and I teach English, Italian and Spanish to foreign students.
Having lived in Spain during my last year at University, I moved to the UK, where I lived for the next five years. My English at that time was quite poor and I made a living by doing various jobs.
One day, inspired by my amazing English teacher Mandy, I had an idea: why not teach my native language and Spanish to English people and other nationalities? You wouldn’t believe how fascinated people are by these languages!
It was in 2017 when I fell in love with this job. So much so that one year later I successfully attained a TESOL Certificate, to teach English as a foreign language.
Teaching allows me to fully express myself and my personal qualities, such as patience and an ability to give my full attention to other people. By giving students a space in which to express themselves without fear, I create a safe, non-judgemental environment.
When a new student contacts me I always offer them a free trial lesson, so that we can introduce ourselves and I can get to know their level, interests and needs. It's from there that I create the ensuing lessons.
I provide students with a solid grammar base, but also help them to understand the application and use of the language in everyday life. At the same time, I tailor the lesson to suit the students' main interests – such as grammar, speaking, pronunciation, writing or exam preparation. I teach students of different levels, from beginners to advanced.
Although I love teaching in-person, I have adapted myself to teaching online as well. I have also completed a Teaching English Online course offered by Cambridge University. I have to admit that it's a really effective method, plus you meet people from all over the world!
Having lived abroad for several years I know that learning a foreign language requires time, but it's also fun. By speaking in it we can express hidden parts of ourselves – it's a bit like acting!
You can also assimilate the culture from which the language evolves. It's interesting to see how we can change and develop!
My aim is to transmit to students the idea that nothing is impossible. Learning a language is challenging, but entirely achievable if you keep in mind that it's a journey made of small steps.
What is important is to establish those small objectives every day, and reach them with calm determination.
Like a tracker counts the steps that you walk, put on your “count-words tracker” and you'll be surprised at how much you have learned by the end of the day!

My name is Jay and I'm from Morocco I love to teach English and share my knowledge of Moroccan and western culture with young students.
My degree is in English Studies. I possess a CELTA certificate as well and I have also worked for 7 years in both Morocco and China.
I like basketball and going to the gym.
I believe the most effective way to feel comfortable and confident with learning English is to enjoy having conversations with a teacher who guides students in lessons that are fun and interesting, with plenty of congratulations and corrections where necessary!
I am friendly, motivated, funny, and more importantly patient.
And I love to teach children and adults.
I hope and look forward to seeing you, in one of my classes soon.

Hi, I'm Dajana, I'm 31 years old and I come from Naples.
I am graduated in Foreign Languages and Litteratures and I have a II Level Master degree in Teaching Italian as Second Language.
I have teached italian to foreign people, above all adults at any age, in several NGOs and social cooperatives in the last 4 years.
How will I teach you italian? By playing!
I know that studying a language by reading a grammar book and mechanically completing the attached exercises can be boring and above all does not train your mind.
Learning instead should be a pleasure, so I like to use small funny videos, songs, puzzles and so on.
I also prefer the inductive method so that you can understand how Italian works on your own and then fix the grammatical rules together.
That way you’ll learn Italian without even realizing it!
But all this depends on you and how you prefer to study. I will be very happy to adopt the method that suits your case. The most important thing is that you get your goals with pleasure!
Don’t you think studying can be a pleasure? Join me and you’ll find out!
Cheers,
Dajana

Hello, everybody ! My name is Elena. I’m a native Italian speaker, I’m 49 years old and live in Turin. I am a certified CEDILS teacher, I graduated in Foreign Languages and Literature in Milan and have been working as a teacher of Italian for more than 10 years. I speak English and German. I attended specialization courses for Italian L2 teachers and I am interviewer for C1 PLIDA exam.
Are you seeking a friendly and dynamic study environment ? I got what you need. I am looking forward to being in touch with new students and organize pleasant, interesting and fruitful courses.
Do you wish to learn or improve your Italian to speak with your parents or friends? Do you need Italian for work or study ? Do you simply love Italian language and culture ? Do you need to improve your writing skills ?
My classes are tailored on your needs and considering your level of knowledge, I create a proper course plan. Classes focus on language and on the possibility for you to improve your ability to speak and understand Italian in your daily life or in work.
I offer 1-to-1 or 2-to-1 tuition, general Italian courses (grammar, conversation, listening, reading and writing), preparation to Italian examinations (all levels, also Italian for residence permit) and Italian and culture courses.
Grammar, vocabulary exercises, reading articles and magazines and talking together are all tools to feel at ease with the Italian language and then be able to practice it.
I have worked with children, adolescents and adults for all levels of Italian, from beginner to advanced. I have experience in preparing students to international certification (CILS, PLIDA). I was an A2/B1 Telc examiner.
Learning Italian can be closely related to culture, literature, music, sport and any other interest of my students.

Why should you choose me? Take a look at what people say who have taken online classes with me.
Book lessons with me and
- prepare Dutch exams "Basisinburgering A1" and "Inburgeringsexamen A2". Your full commitment and my energetic, professional approach are the winning combination to help you succeed at once!
- learn Dutch because you live in the Netherlands (or are planning to move there) and still don’t speak the language properly or haven’t started yet. You’ll enjoy your environment more!
- learn Italian for work or because you will move to this beautiful country or simply because you just love it. Let me help you experience the language!
- study Spanish for pleasure, work or because you have to prepare an exam for school and you need to get confident to perform optimally
- get confident in useful daily conversations, meetings at work, exams, and presentations
- overcome the fear of failure; if you have learning problems, feel shy or need a boost of energy you’ll get confident enough to achieve your goals
My lessons are based on conversations. My method is to help you practice the language from the very beginning in spontaneous and direct conversations, using often role plays.
With books, articles, songs, and other interesting and stimulating material I will encourage conversation, develop grammar in a simpler way, and improve pronunciation.
Learning a foreign language is not a matter of doing much effort, but rather of being consistent, enjoying the lessons and allowing your intuition to work with you. You will book immediate results while having fun!
I've been teaching Dutch, Spanish and Italian for many years, in The Netherlands, for private institutes, for the integration of foreigners into society (Inburgering), and online from Italy, where I currently live.
Contact me for a free trial and let me know how I can help you.
CANCELATION POLICY
If you cancel a reservation please do it at least 24 hours before the session
(otherwise I would have to charge you for the lesson).

During the lesson she easily adapts to the difference in level between my daughter and me. In the lesson she takes the time to have a conversation in which we practice the learned material. We highly recommend Elena!!

Welcome to my profile!
My name is Daniela, or “Daniella” as my students call me.
I have been working as Italian teacher for two years to migrants, for refugee centers and humanitarian corridors in Italy. I have had experience with first literacy and also I have worked with begginers and intermidiate students, who I prepared to Linguistic Certification. I have worked with single student and with groups.
My opinion is “Viva l’intercultura”, that means looking at the person’s linguistic needs. Italian lessons become a space where the cultures meet and match each other, and step by step, the student can build the Italian language. For me, the cultures exchange is very important.
I’d rather to teach with an inductive, interactive, and cooperative method, which focus on communication functions, but doesn’t forget the grammar. I use manuals, worksheets, interactive games, songs and video.

My name is Mara, I took a Master's in Foreign Languages and Translation (English and German) and then I started working as a Teacher to kids and adults. Since my students are aged between 1 and 69 years old, I developed 3 different methods:

Hi everyone!
My name is Daniela, I am Italian and I come from a small town in Sicily, Southern Italy. I am a qualified Italian language teacher and a CELI examiner! I work in two language schools teaching Italian and I also teach English at school.
I love foreign languages, translating, reading and listening to music. Are you ready to start your language learning path with me? We are going to learn many things and to talk a lot, if you allow me to! Don’t worry if you’ve never studied the language before: everyone can attend my classes – from beginner to advanced students. You just need passion for what you're going to do and... a good Internet connection. Materials are provided by me!
See you online!

Thank you for putting up with all my mistakes today! We had plenty of conversation practice although the listening we did was quite tough but very useful .
