NOTE  
(1) VARIAZIONI  ORTOGRAFICHE  
Alcuni  verbi  subiscono  delle  variazioni  prima  di  prendere  la  S  alla  terza  persona  singolare  (HE/SHE/IT).  
Prendono  una  E  i  verbi  terminanti  in:  
 
-­‐CH   To  Watch   He  watches    
-­‐SH   To  Flash   It  flashes  
-­‐O   To  Go   She  goes  
-­‐Z   To  Buzz   It  buzzes  
-­‐S   To  Pass   He  passes  
-­‐X   To  Mix   It  mixes  
     
 
I  verbi  terminanti  in  Y  preceduta  da  CONSONANTE  cambiano  la  Y  in  IE  prima  di  aggiungere  la  desinenza  S  alla  terza  persona  singolare:  
TO  STUDY  =  He  studies    
ATTENZIONE:  se  prima  della  Y  c’è  una  vocale  non  si  cambia  niente  es.:  TO  PLAY  =  He  plays  
       
(2) VARIAZIONI  ORTOGRAFICHE  DEL  GERUNDIO  
I  verbi  terminanti  con  il  dittongo  IE  cambiano  IE  in  Y  prima  di  aggiungere  il  suffisso  ING  
Es.:  TO  DIE  =  DYING  
I  verbi  terminanti  con  una  sola  consonante  preceduta  con  una  sola  vocale,  RADDOPPIANO  la  consonante  finale  SE:  
a)  Sono  MONOSILLABI             TO  STOP  =  STOPPING  
b)  Sono  PLURISILLABI    
       con  accento  sull’ULTIMA  SILLABA     TO  TRAVEL  =  TRAVELLING  
              TO  PREFER  =  PREFERRED  
 
(3) VARIAZIONI  ORTOGRAFICHE  DEL  SIMPLE  PAST  
I  verbi  terminanti  con  una  sola  consonante  preceduta  con  una  sola  vocale,  RADDOPPIANO  la  consonante  finale:  
ES.:  TO  STOP  =  STOPPED  
I  verbi  terminanti  in  Y  preceduta  da  CONSONANTE  cambiano  la  Y  in  I  prima  di  aggiungere  la  desinenza  ED  
Es.:  TO  STUDY  =  I  STUDIED

 QUADRO  DEI  TEMPI  VERBALI  INGLESI  
  I  verbi  terminanti  in  E  muta  perdono  la  E  prima  di  aggiungere  la  desinenza  ED  
  Es.:  TO  LIKE  =  I  LIKED  
 
(4) VERBO  ESSERE  DOPO  IL  CONDIZIONALE  
In  inglese  il  modo  congiuntivo  NON  esiste,  ma  si  usa  il  SIMPLE  PRESENT  o  il  SIMPLE  PAST  secondo  il  bisogno.  
Il  verbo  BE  è  l’unico  ad  avere  una  forma  congiuntiva  al  passato:  
  IF   I   WERE  
  IF   YOU   WERE  
  IF   HE   WERE    
  IF   SHE     WERE    
  IF   IT   WERE  
  IF   WE   WERE    
  IF   YOU   WERE  
  IF   THEY   WERE  
 
(5) PASSIVE  FORM  
La  forma  passiva  in  inglese  si  fa  coniugando  il  verbo  BE  al  tempo  verbale  desiderato.  
Il  complemento  d’agente  (colui  che  compie  l’azione  nella  forma  passiva)  è  introdotto  dalla  preposizione  BY.
