- Some verbs take on a more emphatic, idiomatic meaning when they are used with the pronouns la or ne, which attach to the infinitive forms. In their infinitive forms, these verbs end in -cela, -sela, or -sene, as well as in other ways. These are known as verbs with pronominal particles (particelle pronominali).
Let’s look at the verbs andarsene and farcela. You can see the endings -sene and -cela in the infinitives. Observe how they are conjugated in the present indicative and the passato prossimo in the following table.Presente

me ne vado me ne sono andato/a ce la faccio ce l’ho fatta te ne vai te ne sei andato/a ce la fai ce l’hai fatta se ne va se ne è (n’è) andato/a ce la fa ce l’ha fatta ce ne andiamo ce ne siamo andati/e ce la facciamo ce l’abbiamo fatta ve ne andate ve ne siete andati/e ce la fate ce l’avete fatta se ne vanno se ne sono andati/e ce la fanno ce l’hanno fatta
As you can see in the above table, the particella se is the only one that changes form—to the combined reflexive pronoun form -- in all the conjugations; the particelle ce, la, and ne do not change. Use these verbs as templates for conjugating the following examples.
