How to Conjugate the Italian Verb Offrire

The verb offrire means, most obviously, to offer something—or to offer to do something—but also has some more nuanced meanings: to buy someone a drink or dinnerto propose (a price for something, for example)to give or afford (a beautiful view, refuge, or shade)to provide (pay, opportunities, or facilities) It is an irregular third-conjugation verb in that its past participle is offerto—that alone makes it irregular and it is its only irregularity—and it conjugates much like aprire (to open) and coprire (to cover). Offrire is a transitive verb, with a direct object, hence it takes the auxiliary avere, with a direct object (I offer something) but also most often an indirect object or indirect object pronoun (I offer something to you). So it is, offrire qualcosa a qualcuno. To offer somebody something. However, you will also find offrire used in the reflexive when someone, for example, is offering to do something. In those cases, of course, offrirsi is used with reflexive pronouns and essere as the auxiliary: Mi offro di aiutarti. I offer (myself) to help you.Giulio si à ¨ offerto di insegnarmi linglese. Giulio offered to teach me English.Mi sono offerta di portarlo a scuola. I offered to take him to school.Mi sarei offerta di portare fuori il cane, ma pioveva. I would have offered to take the dog out, but it was raining. Lets take a look at the conjugation. Indicativo Presente: Present Indicative In the presente offrire has all the above uses, but when you make friends in Italy you will hear it most often used in the race to see who can buy drinks first, or a coffee. Stasera offro io! Tonight Im buying! Or, offri te stasera? Are you buying tonight? Io offro Stasera ti offro la cena. Tonight I am buying you dinner. Tu offri Mi offri un passaggio?

Loro, Loro offrivano Una volta, loro offrivano buone opportunità   di lavoro. At one point they offered good work opportunities. Indicativo Passato Prossimo: Present Perfect Indicative As a transitive verb, in the passato prossimo offrire is made of the present tense of avere and the past participle offerto.

In this tense—another storytelling tense—the act of offering or buying happened in the context of something else also in the past, in memory. It could be remote or not; the important thing is the context of the actions. You had offered to buy me dinner, but it started to rain and ... Io avevo offerto Ti avevo offerto la cena, ricordi?

It is a remote storytelling tense you will find in literature. Nonetheless, it is made of the passato remoto of your auxiliary and the past participle. It is used in a dependent clause with the passato remoto. Io ebbi offerto Dopo che ti ebbi offerto la cena, ti sentisti male. After I had bought you dinner, you felt sick. Tu avesti offerto Appena tu mi avesti offerto il passaggio trovai il mio cavallo. As soon as you had given me a ride, I found my horse.

The Black Widow By F. Scott Fitzgerald Essay - 2047 Words

For essay two I decided to analyze Black Widow. One of the various reasons for this was that she does not posses superpowers, however, she still is a superhero. This is not only inspiring but she stands for a goal that we can set, we too can become superheroes. After researching Black Widow, I found that she was raised badly and throughout most of her life was being taught to kill and to be an assassin for Russia. She was brainwashed until she was saved by shield and joined the Avengers. Black Widow has always been one of my favorite superheroes because she is very skilled at combat and is a woman. She takes on men and villains who triple her size, and yet she still wins. She stands for woman, that we can be powerful if we choose to. Since as long as I can remember Ive always wanted to be Black Widow. She has always been a role model to me despite her twisted past, she overcomes the difficulty and always fights for her freedom. She never seems to give up, and her personality will alw ays make you want to root for her. Black Widow always gets the job done and has a no nonsense attitude. I was curious to research her and find out what her true story was about. The only information I had know about her was that shown in the movies. I discovered that her past had a strong influence in the way she worked. She was an average human who had no superpowers and was able to defeat villains that were much stringer than she was.

For projectY, the material costs remain stable, the labour is inefficiently utilized since actual labour cost exceeds budgeted labour costs.

The company can achieve its desired market share only by optimum utilization and pricing of the direct materials and by reducing its overall costs, it can only maximize profits.
