Explanation

• The structure "mi avevate promesso che mi ______ con voi" requires expressing the "future in the past"—an action that was supposed to happen after the promise, but didn't.learnitalian.unc+1​

• In Italian, when reporting what someone said, wanted, or promised in the past, and the action would have occurred in the future relative to that past, use the past conditional ("condizionale passato"): "avreste portato" ("you would have taken/brought").onlineitalianclub+2​

• The other options:

  • "portate" is the present or imperative and doesn't work in this context.

  • "porterete" is the simple future ("you will take"), incorrect for reported speech in the past.mangolanguages​

• "avreste portato" fits as "would have taken" (past conditional), matching Italian grammar for this type of reported promise.

Translation

Key Grammar
