Present Conditional Tense in Italian: Condizionale Presente

In English, we use phrases like I would, or I should. In Italian, we achieve this kind of language by using the conditional mood. This implies uncertainty, and refers to events that would occur, if some other event had also taken place. Let's see how this works!

I have struggled, for some reason, with the future and conditional tenses, they wouldn't sink in. Now they have. I wish I had seen these videos before, they clicked as soon as I watched them. Bravo and grazie mille.

Grazie mille, professor Dave. I’ve been learning Italian for two and a half months and I’ve been struggling with the conditionals and subjunctives. This helped me so much. I owe you one!!

[@patrickstar1330]

Older video, but thank you Professor Dave for everything! Your online series is amazing supplement to the book we use for our online classes at ASU, and all of my professors recommend their students to utilize your videos as a resource. I will share your videos with everyone, and it is certainly great refresher material as well. Friends and strangers alike from Italy are all surprised I can speak at intermediate level, and I credit you!

I am just watching this conditional tense video and was curious do you remember what text books you used for class at ASU?

[@russellsharpe288]

Is the final 'Checking Comprehension' exercise correct? It says "Ragazzi, mi restituiresti i soldi, per favore?" Shouldn't this be "restituireste", since you are (apparently) talking to more than one ragazzo?

[@sammyelkat6022]

I agree with Russell. Thank you Professor Dave for these videos. They are soooo helpful.

[@jimc2676]

I know this is two years later but I agree with you?

[@shawndurbs]

I thought that too.

Thanks a million, sir. May you live long.

Grazie mille. Non vedo l'ora della prossima lezione.

Grazie mille professor Dave for the perfect job

[@andrewwilliams9580]

Your language videos are amazingly clear and easily understood. If ALL languages were taught by you, with your teaching style then everyone would be at least bilingual. Your maths videos were harder for me to understand but that's not due to you. That's due to me. I'm better at words. Numbers get difficult for me whoever the teacher. You're the best language teacher online.

I agree and where did you get that Italian tee shirt? 😂
