abrogare — Italian conjugation
to repeal
Indicative
Present (Presente) Irregular
The presente covers habits, ongoing situations, and plans about to start — much like English “I study” and “I am studying”. One present tense does both in Italian.
Lavora da casa tre giorni a settimana.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | abrogo | I repeal |
| tu | abroghi | you repeal |
| lui/lei | abroga | he/she/it repeals |
| noi | abroghiamo | we repeal |
| voi | abrogate | you (pl.) repeal |
| loro | abrogano | they repeal |
Simple past (Passato remoto) Regular
The passato remoto tells a completed, narrative past, especially in the south and in literature. The passato prossimo is the normal spoken past in the north, so you choose register and region, not a difference in time alone.
Quella sera arrivò tardi, senza alibi.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | abrogai | I repealed |
| tu | abrogasti | you repealed |
| lui/lei | abrogò | he/she/it repealed |
| noi | abrogammo | we repealed |
| voi | abrogaste | you (pl.) repealed |
| loro | abrogarono | they repealed |
Imperfect (Imperfetto) Regular
The imperfetto is for incomplete past actions, context, and repeated or habitual situations without a clear end. The passato prossimo, not the remoto, is its usual “event” partner in speech.
Da bambina passavo le estati al mare.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | abrogavo |
| tu | abrogavi |
| lui/lei | abrogava |
| noi | abrogavamo |
| voi | abrogavate |
| loro | abrogavano |
Conditional (Condizionale) Regular
The condizionale is for polite “would you…”, first-condition hypotheticals, and reported future from a past point of view. The classic if-chain is se + imperfetto → condizionale.
Potresti alzare un poco la voce?
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | abrogherei | I would repeal |
| tu | abrogheresti | you would repeal |
| lui/lei | abrogherebbe | he/she/it would repeal |
| noi | abrogheremmo | we would repeal |
| voi | abroghereste | you (pl.) would repeal |
| loro | abrogherebbero | they would repeal |
Future (Futuro semplice) Irregular
The futuro semplice is for predictions and far decisions. In speech you often hear the present (with a time adverb) or a paraphrase, and a famous trick is the futuro di probabilità for a present guess: saranno le tre.
Domani partiremo all'alba.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | abrogherò | I will repeal |
| tu | abrogherai | you will repeal |
| lui/lei | abrogherà | he/she/it will repeal |
| noi | abrogheremo | we will repeal |
| voi | abrogherete | you (pl.) will repeal |
| loro | abrogheranno | they will repeal |
Present perfect (Passato prossimo) Regular
The passato prossimo is the workhorse preterit-like past in the north and in everyday Italian: avere/essere + participle, essere for reflexives, motion, and other change-of-state patterns.
Siamo andati a piedi, poi abbiamo preso l'autobus.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | ho abrogato | I have repealed |
| tu | hai abrogato | you have repealed |
| lui/lei | ha abrogato | he/she/it has repealed |
| noi | abbiamo abrogato | we have repealed |
| voi | avete abrogato | you (pl.) have repealed |
| loro | hanno abrogato | they have repealed |
Pluperfect (Trapassato prossimo) Regular
The trapassato prossimo is “further in the past than another past” — the Italian pluperfect. It pairs with a main past clause to mark sequence.
Avevamo già mangiato quando suonò il telefono.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | avevo abrogato | I had repealed |
| tu | avevi abrogato | you had repealed |
| lui/lei | aveva abrogato | he/she/it had repealed |
| noi | avevamo abrogato | we had repealed |
| voi | avevate abrogato | you (pl.) had repealed |
| loro | avevano abrogato | they had repealed |
Conditional perfect (Condizionale passato) Regular
The condizionale passato is for unreal or missed past results and often appears with se + trapassato prossimo in the protasis.
Avrei accettato, se mi avessero avvisato in tempo.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | avrei abrogato |
| tu | avresti abrogato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe abrogato |
| noi | avremmo abrogato |
| voi | avreste abrogato |
| loro | avrebbero abrogato |
Future perfect (Futuro anteriore) Regular
The futuro anteriore says something will already be over before a still-later future, or, like the French, can express a logical guess about a past result.
Entro le cinque, avrà già lasciato l'ufficio.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | avrò abrogato | I will have repealed |
| tu | avrai abrogato | you will have repealed |
| lui/lei | avrà abrogato | he/she/it will have repealed |
| noi | avremo abrogato | we will have repealed |
| voi | avrete abrogato | you (pl.) will have repealed |
| loro | avranno abrogato | they will have repealed |
Subjunctive
Present subjunctive (Congiuntivo presente) Irregular
The congiuntivo presente is required after many verbs and fixed phrases of will, fear, purpose, and doubt. Impersonal and semi-impersonal triggers (è importante che) also force the subjunctive mood.
Penso che sia la scelta giusta.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | abroghi |
| tu | abroghi |
| lui/lei | abroghi |
| noi | abroghiamo |
| voi | abroghiate |
| loro | abroghino |
Imperfect subjunctive (Congiuntivo imperfetto) Regular
The congiuntivo imperfetto is the past of the congiuntivo system after a past matrix clause and in se + congi. imperf. → condizionale with unreal conditions.
Se avessi più tempo, viaggerei ogni mese.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | abrogassi |
| tu | abrogassi |
| lui/lei | abrogasse |
| noi | abrogassimo |
| voi | abrogaste |
| loro | abrogassero |
Other forms
Imperative (affirmative) (Imperativo) Regular
The affirmative imperativo reuses the tu form as 3sg for -are verbs, while other conjugations use the normal tu present. It is the direct command register.
Raccontami com'è andata l'esame.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| tu | abroga |
| lui/lei | abroghi |
| noi | abroghiamo |
| voi | abrogate |
| loro | abroghino |
Imperative (negative) (Imperativo negativo) Regular
Negative commands use non + full infinitive in modern Italian, which is a distinctive rule compared to other Romance languages. Polite or indirect “please don’t” can still soften the tone in context.
Non aprire quella finestra, per favore.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| tu | non abrogare |
| lui/lei | non abroghi |
| noi | non abroghiamo |
| voi | non abrogate |
| loro | non abroghino |
