Italian Verbs: The Present Tense [A Guide]
The present indicative is probably the simplest form of the verb–so simple that it doesn’t deserve to have such an intimidating, grammatical name. It’s usually something like what we see here:
“La ragazza gioca con suo fratello.” The girl plays with her brother.
Usage:
talk about something that is happening at the moment. “Il telefono suona molto forte.” The phone is ringing very loudly.
talk about something that happens regularly or is always true. “La mia famiglia va in chiesa la domenica.” My family goes to church on Sundays.
to refer to the future in a more informal, conversational way. “Domani andiamo in Germania.” We are going to Germany tomorrow.
Conjugations:
There are three verb families: -are, -ere, and -ire. The -ire verbs split into two groups, with some adding an -isc when the verb is conjugated.

Do you have any Italian radio to suggest? I'm currently learning Italian and I really would like to hear popular Italian songs. Thankss xx
So, I only ever listen to the radio occasionally myself, but I did a little research and here is what I found:
you said you’d like to hear Italian music, so Radio Italia (http://www.radioitalia.it/) should suit you, since that’s literally the one thing they broadcast.
Virgin Radio (http://www.virginradio.it), rock.
Radio Capital (https://www.capital.it/), commercial, classic hits.
RTL102.5 (http://www.rtl.it/home/), apparently the most popular radio in our country.
RDS [Radio Dimensione Suono] (http://www.rds.it/), also commercial.
That being said, I’m not an expert in the radio field, but if you tell me the genre you’re more inclined towards I’ll be glad to suggest you some songs/artists you might like :)
If anyone has any other suggestions, please feel free to put them forward!

A Couple of Facts about the Italian Word "Ombra" [shadow]
A derivative word of ombra is the adjective “ombroso” ( which is sort of shadow-y? ). It is used to indicate those horses, that get irritated and start to kick when they see a new object that scares them;
By analogy, the adjective “ombroso” is used for a person who is prickly and suspicious;
If you go to Venice and ask for an “ombra” in a bar, they give you a glass of wine. Are you asking yourself why a glass of wine is called “shadow”? Well, in the 14th century there were stalls that served wine in Piazza San Marco. During the day the owners used to move the tables around in order to follow the shadow of the bell tower and allow the customers to avoid the sun. That’s where the idiom comes from.
