The goal of this article is not to substitute a serious course in Italian language. But to make interested people ready for such an endeavour. One of the first things you might need in a foreign language is to ask them to do something for you. This is a basic "How to" for that.[[Category:Italian]]
== Steps ==
# Go to wikiHow article [[Pronounce Italian Words|How to Pronounce Italian Words]]
# Note that each Italian verb has for modes,
#* Infinitive (infinito).
#* Gerund (gerundio).
#* Present Participle (participio presente).
#* Past Participle (participio passato).
# Note that imperative usually addresses the second person (singular or plural). In Italian it could mean to address a third person (for instance, he should leave). Also it can be addressed to first person plural (that is, let' s leave, as an example).
# Recognise that Italian verbs in infinitive forms terminate to these endings
#*'''are''' : Example, ''parlare'' (to talk)
#** They are called '''-are''' verbs.
#*'''ere''' : Example, ''vedere'' (to see)
#** They are called '''-ere''' verbs.
#*'''ire''' : Example, ''capire'' (to understand)
#** They are called '''-ire''' verbs.
# Recognise stem. When you drop an ending from a verb what that remains is said to be the '''stem''' of that verb. Hence, ''parl''-, ''ved''-, and ''cap''- are stems of three mentioned example.
# Know division of Italian verbs into regular and irregular.
#* You cannot recognise irregular verbs from their stems or their endings.
#* Irregular verbs does not follow certain grammar rules to build different tenses, and participle out of them. They should be memorised and practiced until become skilled in using them.
#** For example, ''avere'' (to have) changes to ''ho'' when you want to say, "I have" without any connection to its stem, ''av''.
#** In contrast, ''parlare'' (to talk) becomes ''parlo'' (I talk) according to general rule to drop ''are'' and add '''o''' to stem to make the first person present tense. You can recognise that stem has been kept as it is in the infinitive.
#Use polite imperative. Most of the time the polite form of imperative is used. A foreigner '''must''' always uses the polite form until becomes fully fluent in Italian.
# Learn imperative for regular verbs.
#* Learn imperative for '''-are''' verbs.
#** Singular : drop ending add '''i'''. Example : parli
#** Plural : drop ending add '''ino'''. Example : parlino
#* Learn imperative for '''-ere''' verbs.
#** Singular : drop ending add '''a'''. Example : rida
#** Plural : drop ending add '''ano'''. Example : ridano
#* Learn imperative for '''-ire''' verbs.
#** Singular : drop ending add '''a'''. Example : parta
#** Plural : drop ending add '''ano'''. Example : partano
#* Learn imperative for certain '''-ire''' verbs.
#** Singular : drop ending add '''isc''' then add '''a'''. Example : capisca
#** Plural : drop ending add '''isc''' then add '''ano'''. Example : capiscano
=== Nonpolite Forms of Imperative ===
#Note that non-polite forms of second persons addressed by the "imperative" are ''tu'' (singular you) and ''voi'' (plural you).
# Learn imperative for regular verbs.
#* Learn imperative for '''-are''' verbs.
#** Singular : drop ending add '''a'''. Example : (tu) parla
#** Plural : drop ending add '''ate'''. Example : (voi) parlate
#* Learn imperative for '''-ere''' verbs.
#** Singular : drop ending add '''i'''. Example : (tu) ridi

#** Singular : drop ending add '''isc''' then add '''i'''. Example : (tu) capisci
#** Plural : drop ending add '''i''' then add '''amo'''. Example : (voi) capiamo
=== Imperative First Person Plural ===
# Note that this is equivalent to "Let us" in english. English only adds this phrase to infinitive without to.
#Note also that this is easiest to learn. All are the same.
#* Learn imperative for '''-are''' verbs.
#** Drop ending add '''iamo'''. Example : (noi) parliamo
#* Learn imperative for '''-ere''' verbs.
