Italian verb tenses
Hello everyone. I am learning italian by myself so I am finding a bit of trouble at the conjugation of the verbs. I downloaded an application recently for studying the verb tenses only to find strange tenses, I don't think they exist in english language as far as i know.For example, the verb baciare for kiss is conjugated in these strange tenses as baciavo (imperfect), baciai (past absolute), avio bacciato (future perfect) and ebbi baciato (past anterior). I never heard of these tenses before so if anyone can help me with the meaning of these conjugations and tenses would be great. Thank you

Question

Answer

Hi Mai, I also just started learning italian myself.

Imperfect: baciavo is "I was kissing" or "I used to kiss"

and from my research:

Past absolute (passato remoto):

Its the same as passato prossimo. The difference between passato prossimo and passato remoto is that passato prossimo is used more often, especially in speaking

Future perfect (futuro anteriore): avio baciato (I will have kissed). Examples:

Past anterior(Trapassato Remoto): ebbi baciato

Answer

dear friend
presente = io bacio;  english  =simple present

passato prossimo = ho baciato ; eng   similar present perfect

imperfetto (indicativo) = io baciavo ; engl. similar present perfect

passato remoto = io baciai ; engl. similar  simple past

trapassato remoto = io ebbi baciato ; engl. similar  past perfect

otterrà tenses italian are not much used commonly

but there is a big problem with the corrispondence ve tweet the thenses

see you
