| mi metto |

The future of regular verbs is formed by dropping the final -e of the infinitive and adding the following endings. For -are verbs, the a is changed to an e.
-ò
-ai
-à |
-emo
-ete
-anno |
Verbs ending in -care and -gare add an h after the c and g in the in order to retain the hard sounds. Verbs ending in -ciare and -giare drop the i from their stems in the future.
Many verbs use irregular stems in the future tense, but they still use the regular endings from above:
avere
essere
dare
fare
stare
andare
dovere
vedere
sapere
potere
bere
venire
volere |
avr-
sar-
dar-
far-
star-
andr-
dovr-
vedr-
sapr-
potr-
berr-
verr-
vorr- |
Only a few adjectives go before the noun, the rest are placed right after it. Bello-beautiful, buono-good, grande-large, and brutto-ugly are the most common preceding adjectives, even though they don't have to go before the noun. Bello and buono have alternate forms when they precede a noun.

If they go after the noun, then they can be formed in the usual way. The above forms are only for when they go before the noun. Be aware that grande can have alternate forms before nouns too. Grande can become gran before masculine or feminine nouns beginning with a consonant. Or it could contract to grand' before masculine or feminine nouns beginning with a vowel. But you do not have to use the alternate forms, whether or not you place the adjective before or after the noun.
