ABSTRACT
Actions, events and situations are expressed by the use of verbs. Italian has a complex system of verb forms. In the first section of this chapter (2.1), we introduce and explain the main features of Italian verbs: grammatical subject; persons; conjugations; regular and irregular verbs; auxiliary and modal verbs; moods and tenses; transitive and intransitive verbs; active, passive and reflexive voice; si passivante and impersonal si.
