Marco esagera sempre.

Esagera is the third-person singular present indicative form of the verb esagerare.

So the pattern is:

• io esagero
• tu esageri
• lui / lei esagera
• noi esageriamo
• voi esagerate
• loro esagerano

Because the subject is Marco, you use esagera.

Italian often omits subject pronouns when they are not needed.

The verb ending in esagera already tells you it is third person singular, so Marco is enough to show who is doing the action.

• Natural: Marco esagera sempre.
• Also possible, but more emphatic: Marco lui esagera sempre.

Adding lui usually gives extra emphasis, contrast, or a slightly conversational tone.

In a simple neutral sentence, adverbs like sempre often come after the verb in Italian.

So Marco esagera sempre is the most natural, standard order.

Italian word order is somewhat flexible, but different positions can change the emphasis:

• Marco esagera sempre = neutral
• Marco sempre esagera = more marked, with extra emphasis on sempre
• Sempre Marco esagera = very marked, and can suggest something like it’s always Marco who exaggerates

So the original sentence is the safest and most natural version.

Yes, you can, but it is less neutral.

Marco esagera sempre is the default way to say it.

Marco sempre esagera may sound more emphatic, as if you are stressing the idea of always. A native speaker would usually choose the original order unless there is a special reason to highlight sempre.

Mostly yes.

Here, the Italian present expresses a habitual action, just like English always exaggerates.

So Marco esagera sempre describes something that happens regularly or is typical of Marco.

Italian present tense is very flexible, though. Depending on context, it can sometimes cover meanings that English might express with other tenses. But in this sentence, it works very much like the English simple present.

Yes, but the nuance is different.

• Marco esagera sempre = neutral, general statement about Marco’s behavior
• Marco sta sempre esagerando = more like Marco is always exaggerating, often with a stronger sense of irritation or a focus on repeated ongoing behavior

So the original sentence is the more basic and neutral version.

A simple English-friendly guide is:

• esagera → eh-ZA-jeh-ra
• sempre → SEM-preh

The stress is on:

• ZA in esagera
• SEM in sempre

Also remember that Italian vowels are usually pronounced clearly, even at the end of words.

Yes, esagerare is a regular -are verb.

That means it follows the normal present-tense pattern for -are verbs. Once you know the endings for verbs like parlare, lavorare, or mangiare, this verb behaves in the same general way.

No. In standard Italian, first names normally appear without an article.

So:

• Marco esagera sempre = correct

Using an article before a first name can happen in some regional varieties of Italian, but it is not standard in a basic sentence like this.

Yes, if the subject is already clear from context.

You could simply say:

• Esagera sempre.

Because esagera is third-person singular, the listener can understand that it means he/she exaggerates all the time, depending on context.

Italian often leaves out the subject when it is obvious. Including Marco makes the sentence clearer and more explicit.
