aggredire — Italian conjugation
to attack, to assault, to assail, to mug
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 | aggredisco | I attack |
| tu | aggredisci | you attack |
| lui/lei | aggredisce | he/she/it attacks |
| noi | aggrediamo | we attack |
| voi | aggredite | you (pl.) attack |
| loro | aggrediscono | they attack |
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 | aggredii | I attacked |
| tu | aggredisti | you attacked |
| lui/lei | aggredì | he/she/it attacked |
| noi | aggredimmo | we attacked |
| voi | aggrediste | you (pl.) attacked |
| loro | aggredirono | they attacked |
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 | aggredivo |
| tu | aggredivi |
| lui/lei | aggrediva |
| noi | aggredivamo |
| voi | aggredivate |
| loro | aggredivano |
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 | aggredirei | I would attack |
| tu | aggrediresti | you would attack |
| lui/lei | aggredirebbe | he/she/it would attack |
| noi | aggrediremmo | we would attack |
| voi | aggredireste | you (pl.) would attack |
| loro | aggredirebbero | they would attack |
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 | aggredirò | I will attack |
| tu | aggredirai | you will attack |
| lui/lei | aggredirà | he/she/it will attack |
| noi | aggrediremo | we will attack |
| voi | aggredirete | you (pl.) will attack |
| loro | aggrediranno | they will attack |
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 aggredito | I have attacked |
| tu | hai aggredito | you have attacked |
| lui/lei | ha aggredito | he/she/it has attacked |
| noi | abbiamo aggredito | we have attacked |
| voi | avete aggredito | you (pl.) have attacked |
| loro | hanno aggredito | they have attacked |
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 aggredito | I had attacked |
| tu | avevi aggredito | you had attacked |
| lui/lei | aveva aggredito | he/she/it had attacked |
| noi | avevamo aggredito | we had attacked |
| voi | avevate aggredito | you (pl.) had attacked |
| loro | avevano aggredito | they had attacked |
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 aggredito |
| tu | avresti aggredito |
| lui/lei | avrebbe aggredito |
| noi | avremmo aggredito |
| voi | avreste aggredito |
| loro | avrebbero aggredito |
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 aggredito | I will have attacked |
| tu | avrai aggredito | you will have attacked |
| lui/lei | avrà aggredito | he/she/it will have attacked |
| noi | avremo aggredito | we will have attacked |
| voi | avrete aggredito | you (pl.) will have attacked |
| loro | avranno aggredito | they will have attacked |
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 | aggredisca |
| tu | aggredisca |
| lui/lei | aggredisca |
| noi | aggrediamo |
| voi | aggrediate |
| loro | aggrediscano |
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 | aggredissi |
| tu | aggredissi |
| lui/lei | aggredisse |
| noi | aggredissimo |
| voi | aggrediste |
| loro | aggredissero |
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 | aggredisci |
| lui/lei | aggredisca |
| noi | aggrediamo |
| voi | aggredite |
| loro | aggrediscano |
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 aggredire |
| lui/lei | non aggredisca |
| noi | non aggrediamo |
| voi | non aggredite |
| loro | non aggrediscano |
