Irregular verb, gerund nascondendosi, past participle nascosto, auxiliary essere.
Mi, ti, si
The pronoun comes before the verb, mi nascondo, and before the auxiliary: mi sono nascosto. It attaches to commands, nasconditi, and to the infinitive and the gerund. A ban to tu has two orders: non nasconderti / non ti nascondere.
Lei, the polite you, takes the form of lui / lei: Lei parla.
After essere, the participle agrees with the subject: andato, andata, andati, andate.
Enough to talk about now, your plans, and the past.
