Welcome to a “quick and dirty” guide to the rules of Italian grammar! In the East a guru is a wise teacher who often speaks in short, succinct statements in order to convey knowledge and understanding. This is the principle we have used in putting together the Grammar Guru Italiano. You may not learn the Meaning of Life in these pages, but you will certainly learn the Meaning of Adverbs and Pronouns.

For easy reference, study, and review your Grammar Guru has been organized into eight sections of ten paragraphs each. Sections I-VI are the rules most important for a beginner. Learn and practice those first. More advanced students are welcome to explore the mysteries of the infinitive and the subjunctive in sections VII and VIII.
