VERBS  
 

 

VERBO ESSERE vuol dire VERB TO BE
(vuol dire = means)


 

 I am io  sono*
you (singular) are tu sei 
he is, she is,

**IT IS**

lui / lei è

è
we are noi siamo
you plural  
***
you all, you guys***
voi siete
they are       loro sono*
* io sono and *loro sono have the same form of the verb.  

** The neuter subject pronoun < IT > is almost always omitted.
< IT IS > usually is simply  
< è >

it is
impossible =  è impossibile
it is true =  è vero
it is not  true = non è vero

*** Strangely, as you know, English does not have a distinct subject pronoun for PLURAL YOU.

MEMORIZE AND REPEAT the conjugation of ESSERE until   
   your tongue falls off.
