Learning and remembering Italian Verb endings


I was having trouble remembering which verb ending means I, which means we and which means they. All of them end in o and I kept thinking whenever I saw an o ending that it meant I. Then I started to remember that the o m o ending was we. After not which means we. But the ending for they is o n o.

I now have a memory aid. o on its own at the end means I, alone. o m o means mean and you, we. o n o means another group of people, they.

succedo - (I succeed Oh!)
succediamo - we succeed (I am - oh!)
succedono - they succeed (oh no!)
