supervisionare — Italian conjugation

to supervise, to oversee

Frequency#600Regular

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
iosupervisionoI supervise
tusupervisioniyou supervise
lui/leisupervisionahe/she/it supervises
noisupervisioniamowe supervise
voisupervisionateyou (pl.) supervise
lorosupervisionanothey supervise

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
iosupervisionaiI supervised
tusupervisionastiyou supervised
lui/leisupervisionòhe/she/it supervised
noisupervisionammowe supervised
voisupervisionasteyou (pl.) supervised
lorosupervisionaronothey supervised

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.

PronounItalian
iosupervisionavo
tusupervisionavi
lui/leisupervisionava
noisupervisionavamo
voisupervisionavate
lorosupervisionavano

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?

PronounItalianEnglish
iosupervisionereiI would supervise
tusupervisionerestiyou would supervise
lui/leisupervisionerebbehe/she/it would supervise
noisupervisioneremmowe would supervise
voisupervisioneresteyou (pl.) would supervise
lorosupervisionerebberothey would supervise

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
iosupervisioneròI will supervise
tusupervisioneraiyou will supervise
lui/leisupervisioneràhe/she/it will supervise
noisupervisioneremowe will supervise
voisupervisionereteyou (pl.) will supervise
lorosupervisionerannothey will supervise

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioho supervisionatoI have supervised
tuhai supervisionatoyou have supervised
lui/leiha supervisionatohe/she/it has supervised
noiabbiamo supervisionatowe have supervised
voiavete supervisionatoyou (pl.) have supervised
lorohanno supervisionatothey have supervised

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioavevo supervisionatoI had supervised
tuavevi supervisionatoyou had supervised
lui/leiaveva supervisionatohe/she/it had supervised
noiavevamo supervisionatowe had supervised
voiavevate supervisionatoyou (pl.) had supervised
loroavevano supervisionatothey had supervised

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.

PronounItalian
ioavrei supervisionato
tuavresti supervisionato
lui/leiavrebbe supervisionato
noiavremmo supervisionato
voiavreste supervisionato
loroavrebbero supervisionato

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.

PronounItalianEnglish
ioavrò supervisionatoI will have supervised
tuavrai supervisionatoyou will have supervised
lui/leiavrà supervisionatohe/she/it will have supervised
noiavremo supervisionatowe will have supervised
voiavrete supervisionatoyou (pl.) will have supervised
loroavranno supervisionatothey will have supervised

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.

PronounItalian
iosupervisioni
tusupervisioni
lui/leisupervisioni
noisupervisioniamo
voisupervisioniate
lorosupervisionino

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.

PronounItalian
iosupervisionassi
tusupervisionassi
lui/leisupervisionasse
noisupervisionassimo
voisupervisionaste
lorosupervisionassero

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.

PronounItalian
tusupervisiona
lui/leisupervisioni
noisupervisioniamo
voisupervisionate
lorosupervisionino

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.

PronounItalian
tunon supervisionare
lui/leinon supervisioni
noinon supervisioniamo
voinon supervisionate
loronon supervisionino
