•  Support I assume this is a comprehensive list? General question for this type of enum: is there any value in choosing the order carefully? --99of9 (talk) 07:15, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

  This list is comprehensive of all the Italian tenses in all the "moods". The moods are ordered in an order that is traditional in Italian grammar (indicative, subjunctive, conditional, imperative, infinitive, gerund, participle). In Italian, there is almost a 1 to 1 corrispondence between "simple" and "composite" tenses, so in this list the odd-numbered tenses are simple, while the even-numbered tenses are composite (except the past participle). Composite tenses are put righ after their corresponding simple tenses. Since the imperative only has the present tense, without a corresponding composite tense, I put it at the end (otherwise it would have broken this pattern).

  The order of tenses I chose is actually quite traditional (even if there are other traditional orderings). Dv103 (talk) 07:56, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
