Italian Grammar: Concise & Clearly Explained

Italian grammar is horribly complicated and full of rules and exceptions, and even an encyclopaedia could not contain it all! Or maybe we could condense it in an agile, easy-to-read handbook with just the right amount of information. This was our goal with this concise Italian grammar, explained in English with plenty of examples - not stiff, unnatural sentences, but authentic everyday language. From nouns to articles, adjectives, prepositions, verb conjugation, and other important parts of speech, we explain the structure of la bella lingua and we give you the tools you need to understand it and form your own sentences with confidence, providing tips to help you grasp the how's and why's and memorise what needs to be memorised.We hope that this book will become an indispensable companion for your real-life language practice, that will not burden you with unnecessary details and will allow you to take your Italian to the next level.In this 2025 edition we added the English translation of all example sentences, where relevant, and additional information on topics that warranted a more detailed explanation. Section 7 on verbs has been reorganised in a more rational manner. Additional example sentences have been added, where appropriate, and minor changes and corrections have been made throughout the book.Please note that the book's price includes Amazon printing fees and commissions, and we earn only 1/4 of the list price. This book required a lot of work and it would just not be possible to sell it at a lower price.Get in touch if you need help with your purchase or if you have questions or requests, and write us to [email protected].
