Build matching pairs to see how the subject and verb belong together. Drag pieces across on a computer, or tap one piece from each column on a phone.
Match all six pronouns to the six forms of one verb.
Each match locks into place. When you're finished, review the full conjugation in the usual order: io, tu, lui/lei, noi, voi, loro.

📚 Quick reference — present-tense endings and tricky forms
Most regular verbs change their ending according to the subject. These are present indicative forms — actions happening now or usually.
| Person | -are | -ere | -ire (dormire) |
|---|---|---|---|
| io | -o | -o | -o |
| tu | -i | -i | -i |
| lui/lei | -a | -e | -e |
| noi | -iamo | -iamo | -iamo |
| voi | -ate | -ete | -ite |
| loro | -ano | -ono | -ono |
Watch out: venire and dire are irregular. Giocare has an h in giochi and giochiamo. Write mangiamo, not mangiiamo. Not all -ire verbs follow the same pattern; these exercises use dormire as the regular -ire example.
Italian often leaves out subject pronouns in everyday speech. Here we include them deliberately so you can practise all six forms.
