revocare — Italian conjugation
to revoke
Indicative
Present (Presente) Irregular
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 | revoco | I revoke |
| tu | revochi | you revoke |
| lui/lei | revoca | he/she/it revokes |
| noi | revochiamo | we revoke |
| voi | revocate | you (pl.) revoke |
| loro | revocano | they revoke |
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 | revocai | I revoked |
| tu | revocasti | you revoked |
| lui/lei | revocò | he/she/it revoked |
| noi | revocammo | we revoked |
| voi | revocaste | you (pl.) revoked |
| loro | revocarono | they revoked |
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 | revocavo |
| tu | revocavi |
| lui/lei | revocava |
| noi | revocavamo |
| voi | revocavate |
| loro | revocavano |
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 | revocherei | I would revoke |
| tu | revocheresti | you would revoke |
| lui/lei | revocherebbe | he/she/it would revoke |
| noi | revocheremmo | we would revoke |
| voi | revochereste | you (pl.) would revoke |
| loro | revocherebbero | they would revoke |
Future (Futuro semplice) Irregular
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 | revocherò | I will revoke |
| tu | revocherai | you will revoke |
| lui/lei | revocherà | he/she/it will revoke |
| noi | revocheremo | we will revoke |
| voi | revocherete | you (pl.) will revoke |
| loro | revocheranno | they will revoke |
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 revocato | I have revoked |
| tu | hai revocato | you have revoked |
| lui/lei | ha revocato | he/she/it has revoked |
| noi | abbiamo revocato | we have revoked |
| voi | avete revocato | you (pl.) have revoked |
| loro | hanno revocato | they have revoked |
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 revocato | I had revoked |
| tu | avevi revocato | you had revoked |
| lui/lei | aveva revocato | he/she/it had revoked |
| noi | avevamo revocato | we had revoked |
| voi | avevate revocato | you (pl.) had revoked |
| loro | avevano revocato | they had revoked |
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 revocato |
| tu | avresti revocato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe revocato |
| noi | avremmo revocato |
| voi | avreste revocato |
| loro | avrebbero revocato |
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 revocato | I will have revoked |
| tu | avrai revocato | you will have revoked |
| lui/lei | avrà revocato | he/she/it will have revoked |
| noi | avremo revocato | we will have revoked |
| voi | avrete revocato | you (pl.) will have revoked |
| loro | avranno revocato | they will have revoked |
Subjunctive
Present subjunctive (Congiuntivo presente) Irregular
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 | revochi |
| tu | revochi |
| lui/lei | revochi |
| noi | revochiamo |
| voi | revochiate |
| loro | revochino |
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 | revocassi |
| tu | revocassi |
| lui/lei | revocasse |
| noi | revocassimo |
| voi | revocaste |
| loro | revocassero |
Other forms
Imperative (affirmative) (Imperativo) Irregular
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 | revoca |
| lui/lei | revochi |
| noi | revochiamo |
| voi | revocate |
| loro | revochino |
Imperative (negative) (Imperativo negativo) Irregular
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 revocare |
| lui/lei | non revochi |
| noi | non revochiamo |
| voi | non revocate |
| loro | non revochino |
