    Italian Grammar #17 - The "-ARE" verbs, Part II!

    Ciao! 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!! 😊 ..

Ex: il giorno - il bel giorno lo zio - il bello zio l'amico - il bell'amico la donna - la bella donna l'anima - la bell'anima i libri - i bei libri gli alberi - i begli alberi le cattedrali - le belle cattedrali Try: the beautiful book the beautiful sister the beautiful studio the beautiful tree the beautiful appartments the beautiful boys/guys the beautiful girls the beautiful sports Sentences: We have beautiful weather We have beautiful days They have a beautiful studio You (plural) have beautiful apartments Note! If "bello" is after the noun, f.ex. with a modifier - it follows the standard ending: "bello", "bella", "belli", "belle". Try: the very beautiful book the very beautiful studio the very beautiful appartments the very beautiful houses Sum up: "bello" - when in front, endings follow pattern of specific articles, both sing./plural.
