L’ imperfetto
a past tense Ripassi
imperfect tense
We use the
to describe past tense events that are
ongoing or have no definite end. This tense many times corresponds to the
English expressions "was" "were" and "used to". When we use these
expressions we are talking about an event in the past that never really stopped.
Here are some examples:
When I was young I used to go to the movies all the time.
They were listening to the radio when...
My mother always used to make frittata for me as a child.
In the above situations, the action doesn't have a definite end. If I were to say,
"Yesterday, I made a frittata" that sentence would NOT be in the imperfect
because the action clearly stopped at some point in time.
The imperfect is used to describe many different things in the past such as:
your age (when I was 12)
the weather (it was raining)
describing a scene (It was a cold and dark night)
what you were doing ( I was eating when)
what you used to do ( I used to go there all the time)
what time it was (It was 5:00 when.......)
what somebody looked like (he was short and mean looking)
The formation of the imperfect is simple:
here is the entire conjugation for:
verbo -ARE regolare
I verbi regolari
-AVO
parlare:
Parlavo = I used to talk,
Parlavi = You (informal) used to talk
Parlava = He/she used to talk
Parlavamo = We used to talk
Parlavate = You (plural) used to talk
Parlavano = They used to talk
Vedere
I Verbi –ERE regolare
Vedevo
Vedevi
Vedeva
Vedevamo
Vedevate
Vedevano
DORMIRE
I Verbi –ire regolare

Dormivi
Dormiva

There are some verbs that are irregular in the imperfect

B. IL PASSATO PROSSIMO
1. a domandare alla classe in Inglese: ask the students:
Write down two things that you did last evening.
Examples:
I went to the supermarket.
I called a friend.
I studied math and Italian.
I washed the dished after dinner.
I finished my homework!
All of these actions were completed. They are finished!
Note that we are talking about things that have been completed.
Remember that the imperfect tense is used to indicate
something that was taking place in your description.
-Something was happening or happened repeatedly
-something used to happen often….
I was talking on the phone when….
They were going to the shore every weekend!
We used to live there.
We were touring every day!
I was writing in my journal every night throughout the
winter months.
He was swimming every day in the ocean.
All of these examples are describing actions that were taking place and so they are examples of the IMPERFETTO (Imperfect
Tense)
The Passato Prossimo is used to indicate a completed action. Something was finished (or completed) in your description.
We ate late last night.
She arrived on time.
They bought the car last Tuesday.
In Italian Passato Prossimo is used to describe what has happened or what happened.

To create the Passato Prossimo in Italian, you use the verb AVERE in the PRESENT INDICATICE tense, and then use the past
participle:
HO
HAI
HA
ABBIAMO
AVETE
HANNO
AVERE + the Past Participle
Past participles
Regular past participles are easy to form. You remove the infinitive ending and apply the past
participle ending as shown below;
Verbs ending in ARE use ATO, for example; mangiare - are = mangi + ato = mangiato
Verbs ending in ERE use UTO, for example; credere - ere = cred + uto = creduto
Verbs ending in IRE use ITO, for example; finire - ire = fin + ito = finito
More regular endings as examples….
Chiamare-chiamato
Vendere – venduto
Partire - partito
REGULAR
-IRE VERBS
ITO
Esempio...
Parlare parlato-
- spoken
Mangiare mangiato- - eaten
HO
HAI
HA
ABBIAMO
