Professor Dave here, let’s conjugate fare.
For the first conjugation, that’s three irregular verbs down, and just one more left.
Let’s conjugate fare, which means to do.
This is perhaps the most important and most common of the four, especially because Italian
uses fare where English might use one of several other verbs, like to take.
But first things first, let’s conjugate the verb, which will only be suprising for
the first person forms.
These can be used very simply to ask what someone is doing.
Fare is also used when making things.
There are many other instances in which fare is used where an English speaker might not
expect it.
So in this case fare is referring to eating a meal.
Fare la scarpetta, which is to scoop up pasta sauce with a piece of bread, one of the most
Italian things you can do.
As you can see, Italians are quite liberal with this verb, and have found many creative
uses for it.
And good news for us, that completes our investigation of all first conjugation verbs, so let’s check comprehension.
