concludere — Italian conjugation
to conclude
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 | concludo | I conclude |
| tu | concludi | you conclude |
| lui/lei | conclude | he/she/it concludes |
| noi | concludiamo | we conclude |
| voi | concludete | you (pl.) conclude |
| loro | concludono | they conclude |
Simple past (Passato remoto) Irregular
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 | conclusi | I concluded |
| tu | concludesti | you concluded |
| lui/lei | concluse | he/she/it concluded |
| noi | concludemmo | we concluded |
| voi | concludeste | you (pl.) concluded |
| loro | conclusero | they concluded |
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 | concludevo |
| tu | concludevi |
| lui/lei | concludeva |
| noi | concludevamo |
| voi | concludevate |
| loro | concludevano |
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 | concluderei | I would conclude |
| tu | concluderesti | you would conclude |
| lui/lei | concluderebbe | he/she/it would conclude |
| noi | concluderemmo | we would conclude |
| voi | concludereste | you (pl.) would conclude |
| loro | concluderebbero | they would conclude |
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 | concluderò | I will conclude |
| tu | concluderai | you will conclude |
| lui/lei | concluderà | he/she/it will conclude |
| noi | concluderemo | we will conclude |
| voi | concluderete | you (pl.) will conclude |
| loro | concluderanno | they will conclude |
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 concluso | I have concluded |
| tu | hai concluso | you have concluded |
| lui/lei | ha concluso | he/she/it has concluded |
| noi | abbiamo concluso | we have concluded |
| voi | avete concluso | you (pl.) have concluded |
| loro | hanno concluso | they have concluded |
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 concluso | I had concluded |
| tu | avevi concluso | you had concluded |
| lui/lei | aveva concluso | he/she/it had concluded |
| noi | avevamo concluso | we had concluded |
| voi | avevate concluso | you (pl.) had concluded |
| loro | avevano concluso | they had concluded |
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 concluso |
| tu | avresti concluso |
| lui/lei | avrebbe concluso |
| noi | avremmo concluso |
| voi | avreste concluso |
| loro | avrebbero concluso |
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 concluso | I will have concluded |
| tu | avrai concluso | you will have concluded |
| lui/lei | avrà concluso | he/she/it will have concluded |
| noi | avremo concluso | we will have concluded |
| voi | avrete concluso | you (pl.) will have concluded |
| loro | avranno concluso | they will have concluded |
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 | concluda |
| tu | concluda |
| lui/lei | concluda |
| noi | concludiamo |
| voi | concludiate |
| loro | concludano |
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 | concludessi |
| tu | concludessi |
| lui/lei | concludesse |
| noi | concludessimo |
| voi | concludeste |
| loro | concludessero |
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 | concludi |
| lui/lei | concluda |
| noi | concludiamo |
| voi | concludete |
| loro | concludano |
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 concludere |
| lui/lei | non concluda |
| noi | non concludiamo |
| voi | non concludete |
| loro | non concludano |
