Hi, welcome to Claudia's Conversation Classes. A quick intro about this podcast. My aim is to help you speak the language. Conversing is what keeps the language alive and we oftentimes forget that. Learning to speak the language should be simple and fun, so these episodes will be short and straight…

    With the imperative in Italian you need to change tracks, for example if you say to a person you know eat the pizza, you would say mangia , if you were commanding them to do it instead of tu mangi, however if you say to a person eat the pizza, you would say mangi, so you are switching from a to i in this case and in the last from i to a for the informal in the first case and formal in the second case for the verbs ENDING in are, what can you tell me for the other verbs that end in ere and ire?

    Using two verbs volerci and metterci used with time expressions in Italian to express the amount of time it takes to perform an activity When using volerci the amount of time is the subject so the amount of time is either singular like for example one hour or plural two hours therefore volerci can be used only in the third person singular or plural form.ci vuole un ora or ci vogliono due ore. However with metterci a person is performing the action so it is conjugated in all persons, for example, ci metto un ora ci or ci metto due ore
