Common Italian irregular verbs – Presente Indicativo

Listen and solve the quiz – Italian irregular verbs – 40 sentences

As a beginner, you should learn the present tense of some important Italian irregular verbs. If your level is intermediate or advanced, a second look will help you to remember some basics.

Before we start:

Dovere, potere, volere and sapere (as “to know how to”) are the main Italian modal verbs.

Remember that conjugations made of just two letters (e.g. Lui va, Lei fa etc) don’t need any accent mark like Lui và, Lei fà. The only exception is Lui/Lei dà.

Personal pronouns are in order: IO – TU – LUI/LEI – NOI – VOI – LORO.
