The translation of 'Tom needed you' in Italian is 'Tom aveva bisogno di te' in informal form or 'Tom aveva bisogno di lei' in formal form. However, if you're referring to a plural 'you', the correct translation would be 'Tom aveva bisogno di voi'. But in the past simple tense, a more common way to say it would be 'Tom ha avuto bisogno di voi'."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That was helpful, but I'm looking for the past simple tense, is 'Tom needed you' 'Tom aveva bisogno di voi' correct?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "In that case, yes, 'Tom needed you' in the past simple tense is indeed 'Tom aveva bisogno di voi' in Italian."}]
