concordare — Italian conjugation
to agree
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 | concordo | I agree |
| tu | concordi | you agree |
| lui/lei | concorda | he/she/it agrees |
| noi | concordiamo | we agree |
| voi | concordate | you (pl.) agree |
| loro | concordano | they agree |
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 | concordai | I agreed |
| tu | concordasti | you agreed |
| lui/lei | concordò | he/she/it agreed |
| noi | concordammo | we agreed |
| voi | concordaste | you (pl.) agreed |
| loro | concordarono | they agreed |
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 | concordavo |
| tu | concordavi |
| lui/lei | concordava |
| noi | concordavamo |
| voi | concordavate |
| loro | concordavano |
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 | concorderei | I would agree |
| tu | concorderesti | you would agree |
| lui/lei | concorderebbe | he/she/it would agree |
| noi | concorderemmo | we would agree |
| voi | concordereste | you (pl.) would agree |
| loro | concorderebbero | they would agree |
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 | concorderò | I will agree |
| tu | concorderai | you will agree |
| lui/lei | concorderà | he/she/it will agree |
| noi | concorderemo | we will agree |
| voi | concorderete | you (pl.) will agree |
| loro | concorderanno | they will agree |
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 concordato | I have agreed |
| tu | hai concordato | you have agreed |
| lui/lei | ha concordato | he/she/it has agreed |
| noi | abbiamo concordato | we have agreed |
| voi | avete concordato | you (pl.) have agreed |
| loro | hanno concordato | they have agreed |
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 concordato | I had agreed |
| tu | avevi concordato | you had agreed |
| lui/lei | aveva concordato | he/she/it had agreed |
| noi | avevamo concordato | we had agreed |
| voi | avevate concordato | you (pl.) had agreed |
| loro | avevano concordato | they had agreed |
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 concordato |
| tu | avresti concordato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe concordato |
| noi | avremmo concordato |
| voi | avreste concordato |
| loro | avrebbero concordato |
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 concordato | I will have agreed |
| tu | avrai concordato | you will have agreed |
| lui/lei | avrà concordato | he/she/it will have agreed |
| noi | avremo concordato | we will have agreed |
| voi | avrete concordato | you (pl.) will have agreed |
| loro | avranno concordato | they will have agreed |
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 | concordi |
| tu | concordi |
| lui/lei | concordi |
| noi | concordiamo |
| voi | concordiate |
| loro | concordino |
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 | concordassi |
| tu | concordassi |
| lui/lei | concordasse |
| noi | concordassimo |
| voi | concordaste |
| loro | concordassero |
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 | concorda |
| lui/lei | concordi |
| noi | concordiamo |
| voi | concordate |
| loro | concordino |
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 concordare |
| lui/lei | non concordi |
| noi | non concordiamo |
| voi | non concordate |
| loro | non concordino |
