Questions & Answers about Accetto queste responsabilità, a condizione che concordiamo l'orario.
Is concordiamo in the indicative or subjunctive mood here?
It is in the subjunctive mood. The conjunction a condizione che (provided that) establishes a strict condition for the main action to happen, which always triggers the subjunctive. However, for all regular and most irregular verbs, the noi form is completely identical in both the present indicative and present subjunctive.
Why does responsabilità keep its singular form even though it is preceded by the plural queste?
Could I just use se (if) instead of a condizione che?
Yes, but it changes the nuance. A condizione che is stronger and more formal than se, explicitly emphasizing that agreeing on the schedule is an absolute requirement for accepting the responsibilities. Additionally, se for a real possibility would take the indicative mood rather than the subjunctive.
Could I use the phrase siamo d'accordo sull'orario instead of concordiamo l'orario?
Yes, both mean 'we agree on the schedule.' However, concordare is a transitive verb, meaning it directly takes an object without needing a preposition. It also sounds slightly more professional and formal, which fits perfectly with the context of accepting responsibilities.
