Italian Grammar #17 - The "-ARE" verbs, Part II!
ListenedCiao! In this episode we'll look at some exceptions to the spelling, and how some of the "-are" verbs use prepositions! :) ... Verbs on -care and -gare keep the "hard sound": cerco cerchi cerca cerchiamo cercate cercano Verbs on -iare usually have just one "i" in "you" singular, and "we" plural: mangio (I eat) mangi mangia mangiamo mangiate mangiano "Ascoltare, aspettare, guardare" have no preposition after them. Aspetto l'autobus. Ascoltano un bel podcast! "Insegnare, cominciare, imparare" have an "a" afterwards when used before another verb. Imparo a scrivere. Cominciamo a viaggare il prossimo mese. For "pensare" we use: "pensare a" for thinking about something/someone "pensare di" for thinking about doing something. In Italian, when meaning "in order to" or "with the purpose of" something, use "per": Viaggiano per imparare. Studia per avere un grande futuro. Bravissimi!! 😊 ..
