supervisionare — Italian conjugation
to supervise, to oversee
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 | supervisiono | I supervise |
| tu | supervisioni | you supervise |
| lui/lei | supervisiona | he/she/it supervises |
| noi | supervisioniamo | we supervise |
| voi | supervisionate | you (pl.) supervise |
| loro | supervisionano | they 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.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | supervisionai | I supervised |
| tu | supervisionasti | you supervised |
| lui/lei | supervisionò | he/she/it supervised |
| noi | supervisionammo | we supervised |
| voi | supervisionaste | you (pl.) supervised |
| loro | supervisionarono | they 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.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | supervisionavo |
| tu | supervisionavi |
| lui/lei | supervisionava |
| noi | supervisionavamo |
| voi | supervisionavate |
| loro | supervisionavano |
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 | supervisionerei | I would supervise |
| tu | supervisioneresti | you would supervise |
| lui/lei | supervisionerebbe | he/she/it would supervise |
| noi | supervisioneremmo | we would supervise |
| voi | supervisionereste | you (pl.) would supervise |
| loro | supervisionerebbero | they 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.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | supervisionerò | I will supervise |
| tu | supervisionerai | you will supervise |
| lui/lei | supervisionerà | he/she/it will supervise |
| noi | supervisioneremo | we will supervise |
| voi | supervisionerete | you (pl.) will supervise |
| loro | supervisioneranno | they 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.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | ho supervisionato | I have supervised |
| tu | hai supervisionato | you have supervised |
| lui/lei | ha supervisionato | he/she/it has supervised |
| noi | abbiamo supervisionato | we have supervised |
| voi | avete supervisionato | you (pl.) have supervised |
| loro | hanno supervisionato | they 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.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | avevo supervisionato | I had supervised |
| tu | avevi supervisionato | you had supervised |
| lui/lei | aveva supervisionato | he/she/it had supervised |
| noi | avevamo supervisionato | we had supervised |
| voi | avevate supervisionato | you (pl.) had supervised |
| loro | avevano supervisionato | they 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.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | avrei supervisionato |
| tu | avresti supervisionato |
| lui/lei | avrebbe supervisionato |
| noi | avremmo supervisionato |
| voi | avreste supervisionato |
| loro | avrebbero 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.
| Pronoun | Italian | English |
|---|---|---|
| io | avrò supervisionato | I will have supervised |
| tu | avrai supervisionato | you will have supervised |
| lui/lei | avrà supervisionato | he/she/it will have supervised |
| noi | avremo supervisionato | we will have supervised |
| voi | avrete supervisionato | you (pl.) will have supervised |
| loro | avranno supervisionato | they 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.
| Pronoun | Italian |
|---|---|
| io | supervisioni |
| tu | supervisioni |
| lui/lei | supervisioni |
| noi | supervisioniamo |
| voi | supervisioniate |
| loro | supervisionino |
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 | supervisionassi |
| tu | supervisionassi |
| lui/lei | supervisionasse |
| noi | supervisionassimo |
| voi | supervisionaste |
| loro | supervisionassero |
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 | supervisiona |
| lui/lei | supervisioni |
| noi | supervisioniamo |
| voi | supervisionate |
| loro | supervisionino |
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 supervisionare |
| lui/lei | non supervisioni |
| noi | non supervisioniamo |
| voi | non supervisionate |
| loro | non supervisionino |
