In this video I will break down this beautiful language into the core components of its structure. This will give your brain the foundation so that it can receive new information, like words and phrases, and make sense out of them, as well as be able to use them. And, the best part of this lesson is that the basic rules are already in your brain if you're a native English speaker!

Now, the very first component that we'll analise are "i pronomi personali soggetto" or subject pronouns. They are: io (I), tu (you), lui (he), lei (she), noi (we), voi (you), loro (they).
Everyone knows verbs and, as you know, verbs can be conjugated in many tenses. There are some things that are special about Italian though: verbs will always end in -are, -ere or -ire and how they end is defined by who is doing the action.
For example, if we conjugate the verb mangiare (to eat), which ends in -are and so belongs to "la prima coniugazione", the first conjugation, the endings will change according to who is eating. Just like this: io mangio (I eat), tu mangi (you eat), lui mangia (he eats), lei mangia (she eats), noi mangiamo (we eat), voi mangiate (you eat), loro mangiano (they eat).
We then have verbs like vincere (to win) that are conjugated following "la seconda", the second category rules: io vinco (I win), tu vinci (you win), lui vince (he wins), lei vince (she wins), noi vinciamo (we win), voi vincete (you win), loro vincono (they win).
While partire (to leave) belongs to the last and "terza", third verb conjugation in fact it ends in -ire. Here's how you conjugate it: io parto (I leave), tu parti (you leave), lui parte (he leaves), lei parte (she leaves), noi partiamo (we leave), voi partite (you leave), loro partono (they leave).
Moving on to the last bit of what creates the structure of a simple and short sentence, we generally use the word "oggetto", object to talk about the thing or person that the action is done to. Let's see an example of a very easily structured sentence in Italian: "Anna mangia la torta", Anna eats the cake. The magic formula is: "soggetto, verbo e oggetto" -subject, verb and then object. Just like in English.
Moving on, I have to point out something Italian actually differs from English in its ground rules, namely, "gli articoli" -articles. In Italian there are seven of them: the masculine singular articles are "il" -the and "lo"-the. While the masculine plural articles are i -the and gli-the. Here are some examples with each one of these masculine articles: il libro (the book) → i libri (the books), lo studente (the student) → gli studenti (the students).
We then have the feminine definite articles. In the singular "la" -the and in the plural "le"-the. We use them just as follows: la barca (the boat) → le barche (the boats).
Lastly, the Italian indefinite articles are used in place of the English “a” or “an” when talking about singular nouns. When referring to singular masculine nouns, you use "un" -a or "uno"-an. "Una"-an is the feminine form of it. So, for instance, we would say: è un treno veloce (it is a fast train), è una bicicletta rossa (it is a red bicycle).

Italian nouns can be masculine or feminine and singular or plural. The vast majority of Italian masculine nouns end in -o when they are singular. When they are plural, most of them end in -i: l'albero (tree) → gli alberi (trees), il libro (book) → i libri (books). Most feminine nouns end in -a when they are singular. When they are plural they take the -e ending: la casa (house) → le case (houses).
Adjectives must agree in gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) with the nouns they modify. So, for example: Alice ha comprato un vestito rosso (Alice bought a red dress), Alice ha comprato tre vestiti rossi (Alice bought three red dresses).
Another essential part of speech you definitely need to know are "le congiunzioni" -conjunctions. Some of the most popular and useful conjunctions include: e (and): vorrei una pizza e un bicchiere di vino (I would like a pizza and a glass of wine); o (or): comprerò il cappello o la sciarpa (I will buy the hat or the scarf); ma (but): mi piacerebbe venire ma devo lavorare (I would like to come but I have to work); perché (because): mi piace la torta perché è dolce (I like cake because it is sweet).
