Welcome to lesson 24, where we focus on the present indicative tense in Italian, discussing verbs and actions that occur now. We learn that Italian verbs are categorized into three groups: those ending in -are (like “parlare,” meaning “to speak”), -ere (like “ricevere,” meaning “to receive”), and -ire (like “finire,” meaning “to finish”). The lesson emphasizes that to describe actions currently happening, verbs must be conjugated into the present tense. Students will watch a video to further understand what a verb is.
