agganciare — Italian conjugation
to hook
Indicative
Present (Presente) Regular
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 | aggancio | I hook |
| tu | agganci | you hook |
| lui/lei | aggancia | he/she/it hooks |
| noi | agganciamo | we hook |
| voi | agganciate | you (pl.) hook |
| loro | agganciano | they hook |
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 | agganciai | I hooked |
| tu | agganciasti | you hooked |
| lui/lei | agganciò | he/she/it hooked |
| noi | agganciammo | we hooked |
| voi | agganciaste | you (pl.) hooked |
| loro | agganciarono | they hooked |
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 | agganciavo |
| tu | agganciavi |
| lui/lei | agganciava |
| noi | agganciavamo |
| voi | agganciavate |
| loro | agganciavano |
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 | aggancerei | I would hook |
| tu | agganceresti | you would hook |
| lui/lei | aggancerebbe | he/she/it would hook |
| noi | agganceremmo | we would hook |
| voi | aggancereste | you (pl.) would hook |
| loro | aggancerebbero | they would hook |
Future (Futuro semplice) Regular
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 | aggancerò | I will hook |
| tu | aggancerai | you will hook |
| lui/lei | aggancerà | he/she/it will hook |
| noi | agganceremo | we will hook |
| voi | aggancerete | you (pl.) will hook |
| loro | agganceranno | they will hook |
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 agganciato | I have hooked |
| tu | hai agganciato | you have hooked |
| lui/lei | ha agganciato | he/she/it has hooked |
| noi | abbiamo agganciato | we have hooked |
| voi | avete agganciato | you (pl.) have hooked |
| loro | hanno agganciato | they have hooked |
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 agganciato | I had hooked |
| tu | avevi agganciato | you had hooked |
| lui/lei | aveva agganciato | he/she/it had hooked |
| noi | avevamo agganciato | we had hooked |
| voi | avevate agganciato | you (pl.) had hooked |
| loro | avevano agganciato | they had hooked |
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 agganciato |
| tu | avresti agganciato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe agganciato |
| noi | avremmo agganciato |
| voi | avreste agganciato |
| loro | avrebbero agganciato |
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 agganciato | I will have hooked |
| tu | avrai agganciato | you will have hooked |
| lui/lei | avrà agganciato | he/she/it will have hooked |
| noi | avremo agganciato | we will have hooked |
| voi | avrete agganciato | you (pl.) will have hooked |
| loro | avranno agganciato | they will have hooked |
Subjunctive
Present subjunctive (Congiuntivo presente) Regular
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 | agganci |
| tu | agganci |
| lui/lei | agganci |
| noi | agganciamo |
| voi | agganciate |
| loro | aggancino |
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 | agganciassi |
| tu | agganciassi |
| lui/lei | agganciasse |
| noi | agganciassimo |
| voi | agganciaste |
| loro | agganciassero |
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 | aggancia |
| lui/lei | agganci |
| noi | agganciamo |
| voi | agganciate |
| loro | aggancino |
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 agganciare |
| lui/lei | non agganci |
| noi | non agganciamo |
| voi | non agganciate |
| loro | non aggancino |
