arrangiare — Italian conjugation
to arrange (all senses)
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 | arrangio | I arrange |
| tu | arrangi | you arrange |
| lui/lei | arrangia | he/she/it arranges |
| noi | arrangiamo | we arrange |
| voi | arrangiate | you (pl.) arrange |
| loro | arrangiano | they arrange |
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 | arrangiai | I arranged |
| tu | arrangiasti | you arranged |
| lui/lei | arrangiò | he/she/it arranged |
| noi | arrangiammo | we arranged |
| voi | arrangiaste | you (pl.) arranged |
| loro | arrangiarono | they arranged |
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 | arrangiavo |
| tu | arrangiavi |
| lui/lei | arrangiava |
| noi | arrangiavamo |
| voi | arrangiavate |
| loro | arrangiavano |
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 | arrangerei | I would arrange |
| tu | arrangeresti | you would arrange |
| lui/lei | arrangerebbe | he/she/it would arrange |
| noi | arrangeremmo | we would arrange |
| voi | arrangereste | you (pl.) would arrange |
| loro | arrangerebbero | they would arrange |
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 | arrangerò | I will arrange |
| tu | arrangerai | you will arrange |
| lui/lei | arrangerà | he/she/it will arrange |
| noi | arrangeremo | we will arrange |
| voi | arrangerete | you (pl.) will arrange |
| loro | arrangeranno | they will arrange |
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 arrangiato | I have arranged |
| tu | hai arrangiato | you have arranged |
| lui/lei | ha arrangiato | he/she/it has arranged |
| noi | abbiamo arrangiato | we have arranged |
| voi | avete arrangiato | you (pl.) have arranged |
| loro | hanno arrangiato | they have arranged |
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 arrangiato | I had arranged |
| tu | avevi arrangiato | you had arranged |
| lui/lei | aveva arrangiato | he/she/it had arranged |
| noi | avevamo arrangiato | we had arranged |
| voi | avevate arrangiato | you (pl.) had arranged |
| loro | avevano arrangiato | they had arranged |
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 arrangiato |
| tu | avresti arrangiato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe arrangiato |
| noi | avremmo arrangiato |
| voi | avreste arrangiato |
| loro | avrebbero arrangiato |
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 arrangiato | I will have arranged |
| tu | avrai arrangiato | you will have arranged |
| lui/lei | avrà arrangiato | he/she/it will have arranged |
| noi | avremo arrangiato | we will have arranged |
| voi | avrete arrangiato | you (pl.) will have arranged |
| loro | avranno arrangiato | they will have arranged |
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 | arrangi |
| tu | arrangi |
| lui/lei | arrangi |
| noi | arrangiamo |
| voi | arrangiate |
| loro | arrangino |
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 | arrangiassi |
| tu | arrangiassi |
| lui/lei | arrangiasse |
| noi | arrangiassimo |
| voi | arrangiaste |
| loro | arrangiassero |
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 | arrangia |
| lui/lei | arrangi |
| noi | arrangiamo |
| voi | arrangiate |
| loro | arrangino |
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 arrangiare |
| lui/lei | non arrangi |
| noi | non arrangiamo |
| voi | non arrangiate |
| loro | non arrangino |
