Product Description

Product Description
This is the only Italian conjugation resource you'll ever need. To master speaking and writing Italian, you have to be comfortable using its verb system. Unfortunately for many language learners, however verb conjugation is a major roadblock in their pursuit of Italian-speaking confidence. If you are one of these learners, "Italian Verb Drills" is here to help by allowing you to overcome these obstacles so that you can confidently use verbs when expressing yourself in Italian. Whether used as a textbook supplement in an Italian language course or as a self-study text for learning and review, "Italian Verb Drills" will simplify the complexities of this crucial area of Italian language studies.This comprehensive book features: numerous exercises that demonstrate how the Italian verb system works; regular chapter reviews called "Repasos" to reinforce your learning; and, an answer key to give you immediate clarification on any concept. New to this edition, a final unit that sums up all the verb tenses covered so you can select the correct verb form any time you speak or write Italian - something not covered in other verb books.Because of its concise explanations and abundant exercise material, you will find "Italian Verb Drills" a source of unparalleled knowledge and intensive practice that you can use in the classroom or on your own. You'll find you are less intimidated by verb conjugation and, instead, see your confidence in your Italian skills grow. Topics include: regular verbs in the present, imperfect, preterit, future, and conditional of the indicative mood; compound tenses of the indicative mood; the simple and compound tenses of the subjunctive mood; reflexive verbs; stem-changing verbs; orthographic-changing verbs; and, irregular verbs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for errors, 19 Jan 2008
By David Townend (Bournemouth UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I like these series of books. I have used the French one before.
They have helped me improve my grammar retention. However, I have got to the section on -ire verbs (Pg. 21) and have found it lacking in accuracy. Four of the standard -ire verbs have an inaccurate or misleading English meaning. For example avvertire is described as meaning "to announce". It actually means "to warn". In addition, other verbs are described as being standard -ire verbs but are not. Benedire for example, is an irregular verb even in the present tense.

Will post more feedback if it gets better.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource for learning Italian verb formations., 10 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This book gives brief but clear explanations of how and when different verb tenses should be used. After each description it then gives several pages of practice exercises. These range from translating Italian to Italian, Italian to English and English to Italian using all the subject pronouns. In particular the exercises leave you with a better understanding of what the English equivalent of each verb tense means. As the title indicates, the exercises are verb drills which reinforce learning by repetition so that the language can be written without stopping to think. All the major verb tenses are covered with good coverage of irregular verbs. The number of different verbs used in the exercises is not huge but it is adequate. I was preparing for my GCSE Italian at the time and it was of enourmous benefit but could be used by anybody wanting to learn the structures of verbs. This book certainly helps bring clarity to one of the most difficult aspects of learning Italian and also, happily, has the answers at the back. Excellent value.

5.0 out of 5 stars extremely useful introduction to this topic, 19 Nov 2001
By Mr. W. P. Simpson "Poppy's dad" (Sussex UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Verbs are the key to communicating. You might freewheel a little in the Tarzan fashion ( me Tarzan, you Jane, he Boy ). Next stage is to use a verb ( Tarzan swim, Boy play, Jane work ). This book expains clearly the mechanisms for forming and using Verbs WITH LOTS OF PRACTICE and the answers at the end of the book.Invaluable help for beginners like me.
Work through this book patiently and whatever else you don't know at the end, the constant repetition means that verbs are no longer a part of what you don't know. I reckon that the amount of work I have done means that the cost of this book to me is about 10 pence per hour
