Product Description

Product Description
A colorful addition to the popular "Big Book of Verbs" series, "What does The Big Green Book of Italian Verbs" have that the competition doesn't. It has more verbs, a better selection of conjugations, more usage examples, and clearer presentation of tense formation and usage. Also, this book streamlines the learning process by indicating the principal parts and irregularities of each conjugated verb. Destined to become the new verb bible for English students of Italian, "The Big Green Book of Italian Verbs" includes: 555 of the most useful Italian verbs, fully conjugated; tense names provided in English and Italian; example sentences for all 555 verbs; full facing-page of contextual sentences for the top 50 verbs; a two-page Formation and Usage spread for each tense; an index of the 2,700 most common verbs, cross-referenced to all 555 verbs; a list of confusing irregular forms and their infinitives; plus verb tests and drills to improve competence.

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value; excellent book, 24 Aug 2007
By C. Ross "CRoss" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent reference book.

The use and meanings of each of the Italian tenses are explained at the beginning of the book, with examples.

Each of the 555 verbs is listed in alphabetical order, with a whole page (i.e. one side) each, with the verb clearly conjugated in, full, as promised. Below the conjugation are examples of usage, with idioms and related words where relevant. 50 of the most common verbs (often the most irregular and/or most idiomatic) have a second page devoted to examples.

Following the verbs are some exercises with answers to aid learning.

Finally, there is not one, but three indices: an English to Italian verbs index; an index of irregular Italian verb forms, which is incredibly useful if you come across a verb form and you can't work out which verb it is; and an Italian (to English) verb index, listing over 2,700 more verbs cross referenced to one of the fully conjugated verbs.

What more you could ask for in a book of verbs is beyond me, and it's a steal at six quid!

5.0 out of 5 stars practice makes perfect, 24 Oct 2006
By L. Nielsen "velvet39" (Denmark, (ex pat from England)) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Excellent work book. With regular practice, the learning of the (highly complicated) Italian verbs becomes easier...not easy, but it most certainly helps. Repeating the exercises again and again, can only improve the knowledge and use of the verb tenses.
