condividere — Italian conjugation
to share
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 | condivido | I share |
| tu | condividi | you share |
| lui/lei | condivide | he/she/it shares |
| noi | condividiamo | we share |
| voi | condividete | you (pl.) share |
| loro | condividono | they share |
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 | condivisi | I shared |
| tu | condividesti | you shared |
| lui/lei | condivise | he/she/it shared |
| noi | condividemmo | we shared |
| voi | condivideste | you (pl.) shared |
| loro | condivisero | they shared |
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 | condividevo |
| tu | condividevi |
| lui/lei | condivideva |
| noi | condividevamo |
| voi | condividevate |
| loro | condividevano |
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 | condividerei | I would share |
| tu | condivideresti | you would share |
| lui/lei | condividerebbe | he/she/it would share |
| noi | condivideremmo | we would share |
| voi | condividereste | you (pl.) would share |
| loro | condividerebbero | they would share |
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 | condividerò | I will share |
| tu | condividerai | you will share |
| lui/lei | condividerà | he/she/it will share |
| noi | condivideremo | we will share |
| voi | condividerete | you (pl.) will share |
| loro | condivideranno | they will share |
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 condiviso | I have shared |
| tu | hai condiviso | you have shared |
| lui/lei | ha condiviso | he/she/it has shared |
| noi | abbiamo condiviso | we have shared |
| voi | avete condiviso | you (pl.) have shared |
| loro | hanno condiviso | they have shared |
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 condiviso | I had shared |
| tu | avevi condiviso | you had shared |
| lui/lei | aveva condiviso | he/she/it had shared |
| noi | avevamo condiviso | we had shared |
| voi | avevate condiviso | you (pl.) had shared |
| loro | avevano condiviso | they had shared |
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 condiviso |
| tu | avresti condiviso |
| lui/lei | avrebbe condiviso |
| noi | avremmo condiviso |
| voi | avreste condiviso |
| loro | avrebbero condiviso |
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 condiviso | I will have shared |
| tu | avrai condiviso | you will have shared |
| lui/lei | avrà condiviso | he/she/it will have shared |
| noi | avremo condiviso | we will have shared |
| voi | avrete condiviso | you (pl.) will have shared |
| loro | avranno condiviso | they will have shared |
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 | condivida |
| tu | condivida |
| lui/lei | condivida |
| noi | condividiamo |
| voi | condividiate |
| loro | condividano |
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 | condividessi |
| tu | condividessi |
| lui/lei | condividesse |
| noi | condividessimo |
| voi | condivideste |
| loro | condividessero |
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 | condividi |
| lui/lei | condivida |
| noi | condividiamo |
| voi | condividete |
| loro | condividano |
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 condividere |
| lui/lei | non condivida |
| noi | non condividiamo |
| voi | non condividete |
| loro | non condividano |
