Italian verbs look like a 50-form wall per infinitive. Italian Verb Conjugations (deck code CS0686, 100 cards) breaks that wall into prompts like "parlare - noi (present)" → parliamo, across five tenses and fifteen verbs. Here's how to get the most out of it — and what to add.

What the deck drills
| Front | Back |
|---|---|
| parlare - voi (present) | parlate |
| finire - loro (present) | finiscono |
| essere - io (passato prossimo) | sono stato/a |
| andare - io (passato prossimo) | sono andato/a |
| fare - io (imperfetto) | facevo |
| parlare - io (futuro) | parlerò |
| venire - io (futuro) | verrò |
| volere - io (condizionale) | vorrei |
| essere - noi (imperfetto) | eravamo |
Tenses: presente, passato prossimo, imperfetto, futuro semplice, condizionale presente. Verbs: regular parlare, mangiare, credere, sentire, dormire, -isc- verb finire, and irregulars essere, avere, andare, fare, venire, dire, potere, volere, dovere. Forms include sono, sei, è, siamo, siete; ho, hai, ha, abbiamo, avete, hanno; vado, vai, va, vanno; faccio, facciamo, fanno; vengo, vengono; dico; ero, eri, era, erano; avevo, avevamo; sarò, avrò, andrò, farò, potrò, dovevo.
Know the shape before you start
The deck is a full model for parlare (all six present persons, imperfetto, futuro, condizionale) and essere/avere, then thins out fast: most other verbs get only the io form, dire gets a single card (dico), and dovere only appears in the imperfetto. Treat parlare as the template and the rest as spot checks — then write the missing persons yourself (credere: crediamo, credete; dire: dici, dice, diciamo, dite, dicono). Ten or so extra cards turn the spot checks into full tables.
Two patterns that do most of the work
Futuro and condizionale share one stem. The deck lets you see it if you study the pairs side by side: parlerò / parlerei, sarò / sarei, avrò / avrei, andrò / andrei, verrò / verrei, potrò / potrei, vorrò / vorrei. Learn the stem once (note -are verbs switch to -er-: parlerò, not parlarò), then just swap the ending. Shuffle the futuro and condizionale cards together so you're forced to tell the two endings apart.
The -isc- infix skips noi and voi. Finisco, finisci, finiscono — but finiamo, finite. The deck only shows io, tu and loro, so add the noi/voi cards; that's exactly where learners overgeneralise to finisciamo.
Mind the auxiliary
The passato prossimo cards quietly teach the most useful rule: andare, venire and essere take essere and agree with the subject (sono andato / sono andata), while parlare, mangiare, credere, fare take avere with no agreement (ho fatto). When you review, say both genders aloud for every "stato/a" card, and expand the noi cards: siamo andati/e, abbiamo parlato.
What's not here
No congiuntivo, imperativo or passato remoto, and no present-tense potere/volere/dovere (posso, voglio, devo) — the forms you'll need on day one in Italy. Add those three before the futuro block.
