Today’s lesson is not only for all you Italian learners, but for all you males. Did you know that a lady doesn’t just wake up in the morning looking beautiful? Here’s a tip: If you want your female friend to look nice for your evening out, you’ll need to leave her time to get ready. Don’t just book a table for half an hour later, tell your girlfriend to get ready, slip on some jeans and hope that she’s ready to go. Manuel understands this, and has thought ahead; we hope you can too.
In today’s lesson, we will review the Italian periodo ipotetico, the theoretical functioning of its three main types, along with their tense agreement structure. Moreover, we will provide you with useful usage notes and learning tips. For more grammar explanations, review questions, and advanced lessons, visit ItalianPod101.com now!

Learn Italian with ItalianPod101.com! You’re walking around a great little Italian boutique with your friends, inspecting the Italian merchandise for sale. You’re in the market for some Italian accessories to match an outfit you bought at another Italian clothier, but so far, you’ve had no luck till now. You find a great necklace and a scarf, but there is no Italian price tag on the items. Puzzled, you flag down an Italian salesperson who is eyeing you and following you closely around the store. You ask the salesperson in Italian, “How much is this necklace?” He responds in Italian, “It’s four hundred euros.” Aghast, you reply in Italian, “For a beaded necklace?” He insists in Italian, “It’s handcrafted by Italian artisans.” You tell him in Italian, “Well, no thanks. What about this scarf?” He responds in Italian, “It’s also handmade here in Italy, so it’s more expensive.” You ask in Italian, “What, did the silkworms grow up here too?” With that, you storm out of the store and march onto the next Italian merchant.
