Italian Simplified Grammar

Italian is a Romance language of the Indo-European language family. Italian descended from the Vulgar Latin of the Roman Empire and, together with Sardinian, is by most measures the Romance language closest to it. Italian is an official language in Italy, Switzerland, San Marino and Vatican City, besides having an official minority status in western Istria (Croatia and Slovenia). Italian is also spoken by large expatriate communities in the Americas and Australia. Many speakers of Italian are native bilinguals of both Italian (either in its standard form or regional varieties) and other regional languages.

In this work we try to condense the essential points of Italian grammar, in a simplified and practical manner, for quick and easy reference. Instead of long theoretical explanations, we use examples to illustrate most grammar points.
