In today's episode I would like to discuss "Mother's day and why it is so important to people".

Let's have a chat (Discussions In English) 

Episode 10: Happy Mother's Day. What do people do on Mother's day?

Moltissimi studenti di italiano, ogni volta che devono utilizzare tempi composti come il passato prossimo o altri tempi verbali come il futuro remoto (ebbene sì, in italiano abbiamo due tempi verbali per il futuro e non te la caverai se userai soltanto il futuro semplice :p ) sono assaliti dal dubbio amletico su quale ausiliare scegliere tra essere e avere, come può capitare a un appassionato di cucina campana, appena arrivato nel centro di Napoli, nel perenne dubbio se prima mangiare una crocchè o una sfogliatella. 

La situazione con i verbi tuttavia è più semplice e possiamo affermare che: 

-in alcuni casi ci sono regole precise sull'uso dell'ausiliare.

- in altri casi non esistono proprio regole precise.

-essere e avere sono gli ausiliari più diffusi ma...attenzione! non sono gli unici ausiliari in italiano(in alcune forme passive si usano altri ausiliari anche i verbi venire, andare, rimanere )

Vediamo insieme le differenze:

​Ausiliare essere= -Si usa per creare la forma passiva.

Esempio: Il centro di Venezia è visitato ogni anno da migliaia di persone. 
-Si usa con la maggior parte dei verbi impersonali

esempio: è avvenuto un contrattempo che ci ha impedito di arrivare in orario.

​-Si usa con la maggior parte dei verbi intransitivi

Esempi:

Luigi è andato a comprare il pane

Narmina è uscita insieme alle amiche.


Ausialiare Avere: -È l'unico usato con i verbi transitivi.

Esempio:

-Mohammed ha aperto la porta.

-Igor ieri sera ha visto un film. 

È usato con alcuni verbi impersonali

come piovere, nevicare, grandinare (che parlano del tempo) ma si può anche utilizzare il verbo essere in questi casi come ausiliare. 

Esempio:

-Ieri ha piovuto per tre ore.

-Ieri è piovuto.

-Viene usato con alcuni verbi intransitivi

in particolare quelli che indicano uno stato mentale o un'attività fisica.

Esempi:

-Arianna oggi ha corso tre chilometri.

-Aisha ha saputo il risultato dell'esame.

Ausiliare essere o avere?

In this story, a snowman named Jingle is a selfish husband whose job is more important than his marriage. This is Part 4 of 5. 

The dance group had met in the morning for a quick rehearsal. Today was their last day to practice before the big show. 

Even though the other dancers commented that it was already good enough, Jingle and the winking snowwoman worked very hard on their close embrace. 

Then, while everyone was packing up, getting ready to go distribute their flyers… 

Ding-ding ding-ding 

The ringing came from behind Jingle. He said, “Ugh… Doesn’t Candy know how stressed I am? What does she want now?” 

He turned, but instead of his wife, he saw his snowman neighbour. Confused, Jingle went over to talk. 

“You look disturbed,” said Jingle. 

“It’s Candy. She’s been hit by a car.” 

Jingle was shocked. He noticed the neighbour was holding a candy cane. 

“This is her cane. I picked it up after the accident. I immediately called an ambulance and she was taken straight to the hospital. It’s bad, Jingle, really bad. Come with me, let’s go together.” 

Jingle hesitated. He looked at the candy cane, then at the dance group in the distance. Then back at the candy cane. 

“Thank you for bringing me this. But I can’t go with you. I’ve got to distribute these flyers today. It’s our last chance, and the whole group is counting on me. They need me. Tell Candy I’ll be there after work.”
