If you have ever tried to conjugate an Italian verb and found yourself staring at a form that bears little resemblance to its infinitive, you have encountered the fascinating, frustrating, and utterly essential world of the verbi irregolari . While regular verbs follow predictable patterns based on their ending (-are, -ere, -ire), irregular verbs break the rules. They change their stem, alter their endings, or sometimes transform entirely.
Regular -ere passato remoto: credere → credei/credetti, credesti, credé/credette, credemmo, credeste, crederono/credettero . verbos irregulares en italiano

There are Paul Harris (PH) credits available for members to make up the $1000 donation required. It works this way: If you pay half of the amount you need for a PH fellowship, then the club will use available credits to make up the balance.
