Excellent value; excellent book - By: C. Ross, 24 Aug 2007 
This is an excellent reference book.
The use & 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 & 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.
Finallly, 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 & you can't work out which verb it is; & 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, & it's a steal at six quid!
practice makes perfect - By: L. Nielsen, 24 Oct 2006 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 & again, can only improve the knowledge & use of the verb tenses.
