Unit 7 Review: Daily Routine & Verbs

Welcome to the Unit 7 Review! Let’s practice everything you have learned about regular -ere and -ire verbs, as well as the essential modal verbs: volere (to want), potere (to be able to), and dovere (to have to).

1. Regular -ere and -ire Verbs

Remember how verbs change depending on who is doing the action. For example, prendere (to take) becomes prendo (I take), and finire (to finish) becomes finisco (I finish, using the -isc- suffix).

2. Modal Verbs (Volere, Potere, Dovere)

Modal verbs are followed by an infinitive verb (the base form ending in -are, -ere, or -ire).

Common Mistake: Do not conjugate the second verb! Say voglio mangiare (I want to eat), not voglio mangio.
