deporre — Italian conjugation
to depose
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 | depongo | I depose |
| tu | deponi | you depose |
| lui/lei | depone | he/she/it deposes |
| noi | deponiamo | we depose |
| voi | deponete | you (pl.) depose |
| loro | depongono | they depose |
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 | deposi | I deposed |
| tu | deponesti | you deposed |
| lui/lei | depose | he/she/it deposed |
| noi | deponemmo | we deposed |
| voi | deponeste | you (pl.) deposed |
| loro | deposero | they deposed |
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 | deponevo |
| tu | deponevi |
| lui/lei | deponeva |
| noi | deponevamo |
| voi | deponevate |
| loro | deponevano |
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 | deporrei | I would depose |
| tu | deporresti | you would depose |
| lui/lei | deporrebbe | he/she/it would depose |
| noi | deporremmo | we would depose |
| voi | deporreste | you (pl.) would depose |
| loro | deporrebbero | they would depose |
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 | deporrò | I will depose |
| tu | deporrai | you will depose |
| lui/lei | deporrà | he/she/it will depose |
| noi | deporremo | we will depose |
| voi | deporrete | you (pl.) will depose |
| loro | deporranno | they will depose |
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 deposto | I have deposed |
| tu | hai deposto | you have deposed |
| lui/lei | ha deposto | he/she/it has deposed |
| noi | abbiamo deposto | we have deposed |
| voi | avete deposto | you (pl.) have deposed |
| loro | hanno deposto | they have deposed |
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 deposto | I had deposed |
| tu | avevi deposto | you had deposed |
| lui/lei | aveva deposto | he/she/it had deposed |
| noi | avevamo deposto | we had deposed |
| voi | avevate deposto | you (pl.) had deposed |
| loro | avevano deposto | they had deposed |
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 deposto |
| tu | avresti deposto |
| lui/lei | avrebbe deposto |
| noi | avremmo deposto |
| voi | avreste deposto |
| loro | avrebbero deposto |
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 deposto | I will have deposed |
| tu | avrai deposto | you will have deposed |
| lui/lei | avrà deposto | he/she/it will have deposed |
| noi | avremo deposto | we will have deposed |
| voi | avrete deposto | you (pl.) will have deposed |
| loro | avranno deposto | they will have deposed |
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 | deponga |
| tu | deponga |
| lui/lei | deponga |
| noi | deponiamo |
| voi | deponiate |
| loro | depongano |
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 | deponessi |
| tu | deponessi |
| lui/lei | deponesse |
| noi | deponessimo |
| voi | deponeste |
| loro | deponessero |
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 | deponi |
| lui/lei | deponga |
| noi | deponiamo |
| voi | deponete |
| loro | depongano |
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 deporre |
| lui/lei | non deponga |
| noi | non deponiamo |
| voi | non deponete |
| loro | non depongano |
