=== '''Verb : avere (Present tense)''' ===
Here are a few examples of how the verb "avere" is used in sentences:
{| class="wikitable sortable"
 
|-
* Io ho un cane. (I have a dog.)
|<big>'''Pronouns'''</big>
* Tu hai un libro. (You have a book.)
<big>'''English'''</big>
* Lei ha una casa bellissima. (She has a beautiful house.)

|<big>'''PRONUNCIATION'''</big>
* Voi avete una famiglia grande. (You all have a big family.)
'''<big>ENGLISH</big>'''
* Loro hanno una casa al mare. (They have a house by the sea.)
|'''<big>ITALIAN</big>'''
 
|'''<big>PRONUNCIATION</big>'''
As you can see from the examples, "avere" is used to indicate possession, just like the English verb "have".

== Compound Tenses with "Avere" ==
In Italian, compound tenses are formed by using the verb "avere" (or "essere", which we will see later) and a past participle. Here is the formula:
 
Subject + avere (conjugated) + past participle
 
Here are a few examples of compound tenses with "avere":


'''<big>PORTUGUESE</big>'''
* Ho mangiato una pizza. (I have eaten a pizza.)
|'''<big>Pronouns</big>'''

* Abbiamo fatto una festa. (We have had a party.)
* Avete visto la mostra d'arte? (Have you all seen the art exhibit?)
* Hanno scritto un libro. (They have written a book.)


'''<big>Portuguese</big>'''
In all of these examples, "avere" is conjugated in the present tense, just like in the previous section. The past participle changes according to the gender and number of the subject. We will cover this in more detail in another lesson.

Avere - The Italian Verb for "Have"[edit | edit source]

In Italian, the verb "have" is translated as "avere". It is an irregular verb and one of the most important verbs in Italian, as it is used to form compound tenses.

Here is the conjugation of "avere" in the present tense:

Tu (You) hai You have (informal singular)
Egli/Ella (He/She) ha He/She has
Noi (We) abbiamo We have

Here are a few examples of how the verb "avere" is used in sentences:

As you can see from the examples, "avere" is used to indicate possession, just like the English verb "have".

Compound Tenses with "Avere"[edit | edit source]

In Italian, compound tenses are formed by using the verb "avere" (or "essere", which we will see later) and a past participle. Here is the formula:

Subject + avere (conjugated) + past participle

Here are a few examples of compound tenses with "avere":

  • Ho mangiato una pizza. (I have eaten a pizza.)
  • Hai visto il film? (Have you seen the movie?)
  • Ha parlato con il professore. (He/She has talked to the professor.)
  • Abbiamo fatto una festa. (We have had a party.)
  • Avete visto la mostra d'arte? (Have you all seen the art exhibit?)
  • Hanno scritto un libro. (They have written a book.)

In all of these examples, "avere" is conjugated in the present tense, just like in the previous section. The past participle changes according to the gender and number of the subject. We will cover this in more detail in another lesson.
