Italian Remote Past Tense
Printer–Friendly Version

The remote past tense (passato remoto) is a simple tense and is formed by one word. In general, it refers to the historical past or to events that have happened in the distant past relative to the speaker.

Follow this format to form the passato remoto of regular verbs. For -are verbs, drop the infinitive ending and add one of these personal endings to the root: -ai, -asti, -ò, -ammo, -aste, -arono.

PERSON SINGULAR PLURAL
I (io) parlai (noi) parlammo
II (tu) parlasti (voi) parlaste
III (lui, lei, Lei) parlò (loro, Loro) parlarono


For -ere verbs, drop the infinitive ending and add these personal endings to the root: -ei, -esti, -é, -emmo, -este, -erono. Note that many regular -ere verbs have an alternative form in the first person singular, third person singular, and third person plural forms.

I (io) ricevei (ricevetti) (noi) ricevemmo
II (tu) ricevesti (voi) riceveste

Petrarca morì nel 1374. (Petrarca died in 1374.)
Michelangelo nacque nel 1475. (Michelangelo was born in 1475.)

Now I got you!
Exclusive wrote about "passato remoto" but you should know that this is not so used in conversation; when you want to say to your friends "I went to cinema yesterday" it's better you use the "passato prossimo" which is: for the verb to go=andare: verb to be=essere + past participle of the verb to go:
io sono andato/a (o for males/ a for females) al cinema
for the verb to eat=mangiare the "passato prossimo" is to have=avere + past participle of the verb to eat:
io ho mangiato la pizza
Be careful: if you write "io sono mangiato" that means "I'm eaten by someone else", in other words someone ate you!!!

I know, it's not easy!

ciao fran!
sto Abbastanza bene!
grazie per la traduzione

Non c'è di che (another way to say you're welcome: literally non=not c'è=there is di=of che=what..as you can see the english translation doesn't have sense at all )
