Regular verbs in the present indicative have different conjugations in each verb group. Here are the regular conjugations of the first group [-are].
| Person | -are | Parlare | Verb [to speak] |
| io tu lui/lei noi voi loro | -o -i -a -iamo -ate -ano | parl-o parl-i parl-a parl-iamo parl-ate parl-ano | I speak you speak he/she speaks we speak you speak they speak |
There are some particulate conjugations of verbs in the first conjugations such as.
1. Verbs in -care and -gare.
Verbs ending in -care and -gare (praticare, negare, etc.) retain the velar pronunciation (i.e. /k/ and /g/) by inserting an h between the root and the endings that begin with i:
| Praticare (to practise) | Negare (to deny) |
| pratico pratichi pratica pratichiamo praticate praticano | nego neghi nega neghiamo negate negano |
2. Verbs in -ciare and -giare.
Verbs ending in -ciare and -giare have only one (i) in the second person singular (tu) and the first plural (noi):
But some verbs such as [Sciare (to ski)] have two (i) in the second person singular (tu):
| rinunciare (to renounce) | mangiare (to eat) | sciare (to ski) |
| rinuncio rinunci rinuncia rinunciamo rinunciate rinunciano | mangio mangi mangia mangiamo mangiate mangiano | scio scii scia sciamo sciate sciano |
3. Verbs in – iare.
The verbs in -iare, which in the 1st person of the present indicative do not have the accent on the i (càmbio, inìzio) lose the i of the stem before the endings that begin with i:
Some verbs such as [avviare (to stare), inviare, rinviare] have two (i) in the second person singular (tu): (avvii, invii, rinvii). The two i‘s are also retained in cases of possible ambiguity: odii (from the verb to odiare) so as not to confuse it with odi (from the verb to udire).
| Cambiare (to change) | Iniziare (to start) | Inviare (to send) | Odiare (to hate) |
| cambio cambi cambia cambiamo cambiate cambiano | inizio inizi inizia iniziamo iniziate iniziano | invio invii invia inviamo inviate inviano | odio odii odia odiamo odiate odiano |
