Tips to Remember the Verb:
• Associate “morire” with “morte” (death) since they share the same root.
• Remember that many Italian verbs related to life and death (morire, nascere) use “essere” as the auxiliary verb in compound tenses.

Explanation:
• The sentence “è morto” comes from the infinitive “morire,” meaning “to die.”
• “È” is the third person singular present form of “essere” (‘to be’) used as the auxiliary, while “morto” is the past participle.
• In Italian, when expressing that someone has died, the past participle agrees with the subject in gender (è morto for a male, è morta for a female).

• “È deceduto/a” – a formal way to say “he/she died.”
• “È venuto/a a mancare” – a euphemistic expression meaning “has passed away.”
