Throughout this course, you'll find that each tense starts with a simple explanation followed by lots of practise sentences to build confidence and proficiency.

A good project for this class, which will ensure that you really solidify everything you've been learning in these lessons is to take a verb and see if you can conjugate it into the three tenses we've learnt. I'll do an example with the verb "parlare", so that you can follow suit with a different verb:

PARLARE - to speak
parlo - I speak / I'm speaking
parli - you speak / you're speaking
(lui) parla - he speaks / he's speaking
(lei) parla - she speaks / she's speaking
(Lei) parla - you speak / you're speaking
parliamo - we speak / we're speaking
parlate - you speak / you're speaking
parlano - they speak / they're speaking

ho parlato - I have spoken / I spoke
hai parlato - you have spoken / you spoke
(lui) ha parlato - he has spoken / he spoke
(lei) ha parlato - she has spoken / she spoke
(Lei) ha parlato - you have spoken / you spoke
abbiamo parlato - we have spoken / we spoke
avete parlato - you have spoken / you spoke
hanno parlato - they have spoken / they spoke

sto per parlare - I'm going to speak
stai per parlare - you're going to speak
(lui) sta per parlare - he's going to speak
(lei) sta per parlare - she's going to speak
(Lei) sta per parlare - you're going to speak
stiamo per parlare - we're going to speak
state per parlare - you're going to speak
stanno per parlare - they're going to speak

So, pick a verb and conjugate it in the same way as I have above, and post it in the projects sections of this course. The best way to learn the verbs is to write them out onto a cue card, putting the English on one side and the Italian on the other - if you could post a picture of your cue cards to the comments section, others can learn from you.
