To Take, Eat or Drink
| Prendere - to take, eat or drink and Bere - to drink | |||
| prendo | prendiamo | bevo | beviamo |
| prendi | prendete | bevi | bevete |
| prende | prendono | beve | bevono |
| Past participle: preso | Past participle: bevuto | ||
Note: You must express some in Italian even though we leave it out in English. Use the proper di contractions from the top of the page. Or you can use un po' di, which literally means a little bit. Bere is only used to mean to drink when it is used in the general sense, as is mangiare - to eat.

Piacere ( to Like ) and Servire ( to need )
Piacere and Servire
| Piacere - to like and Servire - to need | |||
| piaccio | piacciamo | servo | serviamo |
| piaci | piacete | servi | servite |
| piace | piacciono | serve | servono |
Piacere (a) literally means "to be pleasing," so to form a sentence you have to invert the word order. You must also use the prepositional contractions with a.
Maria piace a Giovanni. John likes Mary. (Literally: Mary is pleasing to John)
Gli studenti piacciono ai professori. The teachers like the students. (Literally: The students are pleasing to the teachers).
The most common forms are the third person singular and plural when used with object pronouns. The object pronouns that are used with these two verbs are somewhat similar to the reflexive pronouns:
| mi | I (to me) | ci | we (to us) |
| ti | you (to you) | vi | you (to you) |
| gli / le | he / she (to him / her) | gli | they (to them) |
So to say I like something, use Mi piace if it is singular and Mi piacciono if it is plural. Piaciuto is the past participle and it is used with essere. However, it always agrees with the subject (what is liked) instead of the person.
Mi piace cucinare. I like to cook.
Mi piacciono i treni. I like trains.
Mi è piaciuta la bistecca. I liked the steak.
Non mi sono piaciuti gli spaghetti. I didn't like the spaghetti.
Servire has the same construction as piacere. It is also used primarily in the third person singular and plural forms and takes an indirect object.
Ti servono della frutta? Do you need any fruit? (Literally: By you is needed some fruit?)
Il pane serve a Marco. Marco needs the bread. (Literally: The bread is needed by Marco.)
Mancare can be used in the same way as piacere and servire to mean to miss or to lack. If used in the regular way, it means to be missing or absent.
Mi manchi. I miss you.
Chi manca? Who is missing?

Past Indefinite Tense (Passato Prossimo)
Past Indefinite Tense (Passato Prossimo)
To form this compound tense (something happened, something has happened, or something did happen), conjugate avere or sometimes essere and add the past participle. To form the past participle, add these endings to the appropriate stem of the infinitives:
| -are | -ato |
| -ere | -uto |
| -ire | -ito |
Verbs that can take a direct object are generally conjugated with avere. Verbs that do not take a direct object (generally verbs of movement) are conjugated with essere and their past participle must agree in gender and number with the subject. Avere uses avere as its auxiliary verb, while essere uses essere as its auxiliary verb. Negative sentences with the past indefinite tense are formed by placing non in front of the auxiliary verb. Common adverbs of time are placed between avere/essere and the past participle.
Io ho visitato Roma. I visited Rome.
Tu non hai visitato gli Stati Uniti. You didn't visit the United States.
Abbiamo conosciuto due ragazze. We met two girls.
Maria è andata in Italia. Maria went to Italy. (Note the agreement of the past participle with the subject.)
Ho sempre avuto paura dei cani. I've always been afraid of dogs.
In addition, some verbs take on a different meaning in the past indefinite tense. Consocere means to meet and sapere means to find out (or to hear) when used in the past indefinite.
