subentrare — Italian conjugation
to subrogate
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 | subentro | I subrogate |
| tu | subentri | you subrogate |
| lui/lei | subentra | he/she/it subrogates |
| noi | subentriamo | we subrogate |
| voi | subentrate | you (pl.) subrogate |
| loro | subentrano | they subrogate |
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 | subentrai | I subrogated |
| tu | subentrasti | you subrogated |
| lui/lei | subentrò | he/she/it subrogated |
| noi | subentrammo | we subrogated |
| voi | subentraste | you (pl.) subrogated |
| loro | subentrarono | they subrogated |
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 | subentravo |
| tu | subentravi |
| lui/lei | subentrava |
| noi | subentravamo |
| voi | subentravate |
| loro | subentravano |
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 | subentrerei | I would subrogate |
| tu | subentreresti | you would subrogate |
| lui/lei | subentrerebbe | he/she/it would subrogate |
| noi | subentreremmo | we would subrogate |
| voi | subentrereste | you (pl.) would subrogate |
| loro | subentrerebbero | they would subrogate |
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 | subentrerò | I will subrogate |
| tu | subentrerai | you will subrogate |
| lui/lei | subentrerà | he/she/it will subrogate |
| noi | subentreremo | we will subrogate |
| voi | subentrerete | you (pl.) will subrogate |
| loro | subentreranno | they will subrogate |
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 subentrato/a | I have subrogated |
| tu | sei subentrato/a | you have subrogated |
| lui/lei | è subentrato/a | he/she/it has subrogated |
| noi | siamo subentrati/e | we have subrogated |
| voi | siete subentrati/e | you (pl.) have subrogated |
| loro | sono subentrati/e | they have subrogated |
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 subentrato/a | I had subrogated |
| tu | eri subentrato/a | you had subrogated |
| lui/lei | era subentrato/a | he/she/it had subrogated |
| noi | eravamo subentrati/e | we had subrogated |
| voi | eravate subentrati/e | you (pl.) had subrogated |
| loro | erano subentrati/e | they had subrogated |
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 subentrato/a |
| tu | saresti subentrato/a |
| lui/lei | sarebbe subentrato/a |
| noi | saremmo subentrati/e |
| voi | sareste subentrati/e |
| loro | sarebbero subentrati/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 subentrato/a | I will have subrogated |
| tu | sarai subentrato/a | you will have subrogated |
| lui/lei | sarà subentrato/a | he/she/it will have subrogated |
| noi | saremo subentrati/e | we will have subrogated |
| voi | sarete subentrati/e | you (pl.) will have subrogated |
| loro | saranno subentrati/e | they will have subrogated |
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 | subentri |
| tu | subentri |
| lui/lei | subentri |
| noi | subentriamo |
| voi | subentriate |
| loro | subentrino |
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 | subentrassi |
| tu | subentrassi |
| lui/lei | subentrasse |
| noi | subentrassimo |
| voi | subentraste |
| loro | subentrassero |
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 | subentra |
| lui/lei | subentri |
| noi | subentriamo |
| voi | subentrate |
| loro | subentrino |
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 subentrare |
| lui/lei | non subentri |
| noi | non subentriamo |
| voi | non subentrate |
| loro | non subentrino |
