interagire — Italian conjugation
to interact
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 | interagisco | I interact |
| tu | interagisci | you interact |
| lui/lei | interagisce | he/she/it interacts |
| noi | interagiamo | we interact |
| voi | interagite | you (pl.) interact |
| loro | interagiscono | they interact |
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 | interagii | I interacted |
| tu | interagisti | you interacted |
| lui/lei | interagì | he/she/it interacted |
| noi | interagimmo | we interacted |
| voi | interagiste | you (pl.) interacted |
| loro | interagirono | they interacted |
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 | interagivo |
| tu | interagivi |
| lui/lei | interagiva |
| noi | interagivamo |
| voi | interagivate |
| loro | interagivano |
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 | interagirei | I would interact |
| tu | interagiresti | you would interact |
| lui/lei | interagirebbe | he/she/it would interact |
| noi | interagiremmo | we would interact |
| voi | interagireste | you (pl.) would interact |
| loro | interagirebbero | they would interact |
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 | interagirò | I will interact |
| tu | interagirai | you will interact |
| lui/lei | interagirà | he/she/it will interact |
| noi | interagiremo | we will interact |
| voi | interagirete | you (pl.) will interact |
| loro | interagiranno | they will interact |
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 interagito | I have interacted |
| tu | hai interagito | you have interacted |
| lui/lei | ha interagito | he/she/it has interacted |
| noi | abbiamo interagito | we have interacted |
| voi | avete interagito | you (pl.) have interacted |
| loro | hanno interagito | they have interacted |
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 interagito | I had interacted |
| tu | avevi interagito | you had interacted |
| lui/lei | aveva interagito | he/she/it had interacted |
| noi | avevamo interagito | we had interacted |
| voi | avevate interagito | you (pl.) had interacted |
| loro | avevano interagito | they had interacted |
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 interagito |
| tu | avresti interagito |
| lui/lei | avrebbe interagito |
| noi | avremmo interagito |
| voi | avreste interagito |
| loro | avrebbero interagito |
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 interagito | I will have interacted |
| tu | avrai interagito | you will have interacted |
| lui/lei | avrà interagito | he/she/it will have interacted |
| noi | avremo interagito | we will have interacted |
| voi | avrete interagito | you (pl.) will have interacted |
| loro | avranno interagito | they will have interacted |
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 | interagisca |
| tu | interagisca |
| lui/lei | interagisca |
| noi | interagiamo |
| voi | interagiate |
| loro | interagiscano |
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 | interagissi |
| tu | interagissi |
| lui/lei | interagisse |
| noi | interagissimo |
| voi | interagiste |
| loro | interagissero |
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 | interagisci |
| lui/lei | interagisca |
| noi | interagiamo |
| voi | interagite |
| loro | interagiscano |
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 interagire |
| lui/lei | non interagisca |
| noi | non interagiamo |
| voi | non interagite |
| loro | non interagiscano |
