evadere — Italian conjugation
to evade
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 | evado | I evade |
| tu | evadi | you evade |
| lui/lei | evade | he/she/it evades |
| noi | evadiamo | we evade |
| voi | evadete | you (pl.) evade |
| loro | evadono | they evade |
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 | evasi | I evaded |
| tu | evadesti | you evaded |
| lui/lei | evase | he/she/it evaded |
| noi | evademmo | we evaded |
| voi | evadeste | you (pl.) evaded |
| loro | evasero | they evaded |
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 | evadevo |
| tu | evadevi |
| lui/lei | evadeva |
| noi | evadevamo |
| voi | evadevate |
| loro | evadevano |
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 | evaderei | I would evade |
| tu | evaderesti | you would evade |
| lui/lei | evaderebbe | he/she/it would evade |
| noi | evaderemmo | we would evade |
| voi | evadereste | you (pl.) would evade |
| loro | evaderebbero | they would evade |
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 | evaderò | I will evade |
| tu | evaderai | you will evade |
| lui/lei | evaderà | he/she/it will evade |
| noi | evaderemo | we will evade |
| voi | evaderete | you (pl.) will evade |
| loro | evaderanno | they will evade |
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 | sono evaso/a | I have evaded |
| tu | sei evaso/a | you have evaded |
| lui/lei | è evaso/a | he/she/it has evaded |
| noi | siamo evasi/e | we have evaded |
| voi | siete evasi/e | you (pl.) have evaded |
| loro | sono evasi/e | they have evaded |
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 | ero evaso/a | I had evaded |
| tu | eri evaso/a | you had evaded |
| lui/lei | era evaso/a | he/she/it had evaded |
| noi | eravamo evasi/e | we had evaded |
| voi | eravate evasi/e | you (pl.) had evaded |
| loro | erano evasi/e | they had evaded |
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 | sarei evaso/a |
| tu | saresti evaso/a |
| lui/lei | sarebbe evaso/a |
| noi | saremmo evasi/e |
| voi | sareste evasi/e |
| loro | sarebbero evasi/e |
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 | sarò evaso/a | I will have evaded |
| tu | sarai evaso/a | you will have evaded |
| lui/lei | sarà evaso/a | he/she/it will have evaded |
| noi | saremo evasi/e | we will have evaded |
| voi | sarete evasi/e | you (pl.) will have evaded |
| loro | saranno evasi/e | they will have evaded |
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 | evada |
| tu | evada |
| lui/lei | evada |
| noi | evadiamo |
| voi | evadiate |
| loro | evadano |
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 | evadessi |
| tu | evadessi |
| lui/lei | evadesse |
| noi | evadessimo |
| voi | evadeste |
| loro | evadessero |
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 | evadi |
| lui/lei | evada |
| noi | evadiamo |
| voi | evadete |
| loro | evadano |
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 evadere |
| lui/lei | non evada |
| noi | non evadiamo |
| voi | non evadete |
| loro | non evadano |
