The Story

One sunny afternoon, while you were exploring the streets of Florence, you stumbled upon an old, dusty book in a quaint little bookstore. The book was titled "The Irregular Verb Chronicles." As you flipped through the pages, you discovered that the most important irregular verbs in Italian were not just words—they were characters in a thrilling adventure!

However, these verbs have mysteriously gone missing, and without them, communication has become chaotic and confusing!
