Question Verbs

Five Italian verbs for communication: this quiz on Italian vocabulary for beginners covers the essential verbs for asking, answering, understanding, knowing, and repeating. Match each verb to its English meaning, complete sentences by filling in the missing verb, and translate full sentences from Italian into English.

A common mistake: capire belongs to a group of Italian verbs that insert "-isc-" in most present tense forms, so the correct first-person singular is capisco, not "capo." And sapere is highly irregular: its first-person singular is so, which looks nothing like the infinitive.
