0:00 I eat mangio 0:33 he eats / she eats / you eat mangia 0: 44 For verbs ending in -are: -o for 'I' and -a for 'you, he, she, it' ✗ 0: 55 We have three types of verbs: -are (mangiare, parlare, andare), -ere (vedere), -ire (partire, venire). All verbs can be divided into two tracks: verbs that end in -are and verbs that don't end in -are. For 'I' you usually have an 'o' on both tracks. For 'he, she, it' and 'you' on the -are track, use 'a' (parla). For the other verbs, use 'e' (vede). ✗ 1: 04 to go andare 1: 12 to see vedere 1: 20 to come venire

3: 31 In English there are three ways to express the present tense: I take it, I do take it, I'm taking it. In Italian there is one way: lo prendo. ✗ 3: 57 In modern English you use 'do' and 'don't' for questions and negatives and you use the progressive tense with -ing. In the English of Shakespeare and of the King James Bible, English was much closer to the Italian verb forms. ✗ 5: 29 I am sono 5: 33 I am eating mangio 6: 00 I don't speak non parlo Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 6: 15 Yes, I speak Italian but I Sì, parlo italiano, ma non don't speak French. parlo francese. ✗ 6: 28 In speaking it's very important to observe 'traffic signals' and not to go through the 'red light', i.e. -ing, 'do' and 'don't'. They are not used in Italian. ✗ 6: 52 I don't eat non mangio 7: 03 I'm not busy. Non sono occupato (occupata). 7: 22 I'm not eating non mangio 7: 27 I don't eat non mangio
OTRA VERSION DE AYUDA----------------------------
I eat mangio you eat mangia (these endings apply for all verbs ending -are. There are three types of verbs, but all verbs can be divided into two 'tracks', the -are track and a track for all the others. For the -are track, the ending for 'I' is -o and the ending for 'you, he, she, it' is -a. For the other track, the ending for 'I' is still -o, but the ending for the 'you, he, she, it' is -e) to go andare to come venire I see vedo you see vede to take prendere I take prendo you take prende I am taking it lo prendo you are taking it lo prende why don't you take it? perché non lo prende?
