In Italian, many verbs that end in I R E follow a regular pattern in the present tense. Let's learn two of the most common ones: 'dormire', to sleep, and 'aprire', to open.
Lesson#2
First, let's conjugate 'dormire', meaning 'to sleep'. The pattern for regular Italian verbs ending in I R E is to remove I R E ending and add the present-tense endings. For 'I sleep', an 'O' replaces the IRE ending to become 'dormo'. For the informal 'you' form, an I replaces the IRE ending to give 'dormi'.
Quiz#3

Lesson#5
Now for the remaining forms. He (or she) sleeps has an 'e' ending to give us 'dorme', 'we sleep' has an ending of I A M O to give 'dormiamo'. The plural 'you sleep' ends with I T E to give 'dormite' and 'they sleep' ends with 'O N. O' to give 'dormono'.
