riprogrammare — Italian conjugation
to reprogram
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 | riprogrammo | I reprogram |
| tu | riprogrammi | you reprogram |
| lui/lei | riprogramma | he/she/it reprograms |
| noi | riprogrammiamo | we reprogram |
| voi | riprogrammate | you (pl.) reprogram |
| loro | riprogrammano | they reprogram |
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 | riprogrammai | I reprogrammed |
| tu | riprogrammasti | you reprogrammed |
| lui/lei | riprogrammò | he/she/it reprogrammed |
| noi | riprogrammammo | we reprogrammed |
| voi | riprogrammaste | you (pl.) reprogrammed |
| loro | riprogrammarono | they reprogrammed |
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 | riprogrammavo |
| tu | riprogrammavi |
| lui/lei | riprogrammava |
| noi | riprogrammavamo |
| voi | riprogrammavate |
| loro | riprogrammavano |
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 | riprogrammerei | I would reprogram |
| tu | riprogrammeresti | you would reprogram |
| lui/lei | riprogrammerebbe | he/she/it would reprogram |
| noi | riprogrammeremmo | we would reprogram |
| voi | riprogrammereste | you (pl.) would reprogram |
| loro | riprogrammerebbero | they would reprogram |
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 | riprogrammerò | I will reprogram |
| tu | riprogrammerai | you will reprogram |
| lui/lei | riprogrammerà | he/she/it will reprogram |
| noi | riprogrammeremo | we will reprogram |
| voi | riprogrammerete | you (pl.) will reprogram |
| loro | riprogrammeranno | they will reprogram |
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 riprogrammato | I have reprogrammed |
| tu | hai riprogrammato | you have reprogrammed |
| lui/lei | ha riprogrammato | he/she/it has reprogrammed |
| noi | abbiamo riprogrammato | we have reprogrammed |
| voi | avete riprogrammato | you (pl.) have reprogrammed |
| loro | hanno riprogrammato | they have reprogrammed |
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 riprogrammato | I had reprogrammed |
| tu | avevi riprogrammato | you had reprogrammed |
| lui/lei | aveva riprogrammato | he/she/it had reprogrammed |
| noi | avevamo riprogrammato | we had reprogrammed |
| voi | avevate riprogrammato | you (pl.) had reprogrammed |
| loro | avevano riprogrammato | they had reprogrammed |
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 riprogrammato |
| tu | avresti riprogrammato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe riprogrammato |
| noi | avremmo riprogrammato |
| voi | avreste riprogrammato |
| loro | avrebbero riprogrammato |
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 riprogrammato | I will have reprogrammed |
| tu | avrai riprogrammato | you will have reprogrammed |
| lui/lei | avrà riprogrammato | he/she/it will have reprogrammed |
| noi | avremo riprogrammato | we will have reprogrammed |
| voi | avrete riprogrammato | you (pl.) will have reprogrammed |
| loro | avranno riprogrammato | they will have reprogrammed |
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 | riprogrammi |
| tu | riprogrammi |
| lui/lei | riprogrammi |
| noi | riprogrammiamo |
| voi | riprogrammiate |
| loro | riprogrammino |
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 | riprogrammassi |
| tu | riprogrammassi |
| lui/lei | riprogrammasse |
| noi | riprogrammassimo |
| voi | riprogrammaste |
| loro | riprogrammassero |
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 | riprogramma |
| lui/lei | riprogrammi |
| noi | riprogrammiamo |
| voi | riprogrammate |
| loro | riprogrammino |
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 riprogrammare |
| lui/lei | non riprogrammi |
| noi | non riprogrammiamo |
| voi | non riprogrammate |
| loro | non riprogrammino |
