ammontare — Italian conjugation

to amount to

Frequency#1059Regular

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	ammonto	I amount to
tu	ammonti	you amount to
lui/lei	ammonta	he/she/it amounts to
noi	ammontiamo	we amount to
voi	ammontate	you (pl.) amount to
loro	ammontano	they amount to

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	ammontai	I amounted to
tu	ammontasti	you amounted to
lui/lei	ammontò	he/she/it amounted to
noi	ammontammo	we amounted to
voi	ammontaste	you (pl.) amounted to
loro	ammontarono	they amounted to

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	ammontavo
tu	ammontavi
lui/lei	ammontava
noi	ammontavamo
voi	ammontavate
loro	ammontavano

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	ammonterei	I would amount to
tu	ammonteresti	you would amount to
lui/lei	ammonterebbe	he/she/it would amount to
noi	ammonteremmo	we would amount to
voi	ammontereste	you (pl.) would amount to
loro	ammonterebbero	they would amount to

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	ammonterò	I will amount to
tu	ammonterai	you will amount to
lui/lei	ammonterà	he/she/it will amount to
noi	ammonteremo	we will amount to
voi	ammonterete	you (pl.) will amount to
loro	ammonteranno	they will amount to

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	sono ammontato/a	I have amounted to
tu	sei ammontato/a	you have amounted to
lui/lei	è ammontato/a	he/she/it has amounted to
noi	siamo ammontati/e	we have amounted to
voi	siete ammontati/e	you (pl.) have amounted to
loro	sono ammontati/e	they have amounted to

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	ero ammontato/a	I had amounted to
tu	eri ammontato/a	you had amounted to
lui/lei	era ammontato/a	he/she/it had amounted to
noi	eravamo ammontati/e	we had amounted to
voi	eravate ammontati/e	you (pl.) had amounted to
loro	erano ammontati/e	they had amounted to

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	sarei ammontato/a
tu	saresti ammontato/a
lui/lei	sarebbe ammontato/a
noi	saremmo ammontati/e
voi	sareste ammontati/e
loro	sarebbero ammontati/e

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	sarò ammontato/a	I will have amounted to
tu	sarai ammontato/a	you will have amounted to
lui/lei	sarà ammontato/a	he/she/it will have amounted to
noi	saremo ammontati/e	we will have amounted to
voi	sarete ammontati/e	you (pl.) will have amounted to
loro	saranno ammontati/e	they will have amounted to

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	ammonti
tu	ammonti
lui/lei	ammonti
noi	ammontiamo
voi	ammontiate
loro	ammontino

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	ammontassi
tu	ammontassi
lui/lei	ammontasse
noi	ammontassimo
voi	ammontaste
loro	ammontassero

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	ammonta
lui/lei	ammonti
noi	ammontiamo
voi	ammontate
loro	ammontino

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 ammontare
lui/lei	non ammonti
noi	non ammontiamo
voi	non ammontate
loro	non ammontino
