Italian Grammar

Many Italian grammar handbooks are so detailed and complex that they create more doubts than they clear up. This is why we decided to write our own guide to Italian grammar for English speakers, with just the right amount of information. A new expanded edition has just come out in January 2025.

You can read a detailed review of our grammar handbook and download a 34-page sample with the basics of Italian grammar.
