Italian grammar
Romance language structure
Italian grammar is the system of rules governing how Italian words combine into sentences.
It includes noun gender (masculine/feminine), verb conjugations across multiple tenses and moods, agreement between adjectives and nouns, and pronoun placement.
Notable features include the subjunctive mood for uncertainty or desire, formal/informal address distinctions, and flexible word order for emphasis.
