Re: Italian usage, past tense
I have studied Italian off and on for many years, and I'm confused about something:
Do Italians usually say "io parlato" for the past tense, or "io parlavo". My text (that is 50 years old) says parlato, and that's what I've been using, but in conversation, I hear "parlavo". I think it depends on what is begin said AFTER the verb. I want to speak it correctly.
Perhaps Dario or Roberto da Firenze can clarify?
Thank you
J.A.
