Designed to accompany and complement the dictionary and grammar book in the widely acclaimed Collins Easy Learning range, these titles offer beginners a clear and easy-to-understand guide to verbs

The main section of these handy books consist of 112 fully conjugated verbs, regular and irregular. Each is self-contained in a double-page spread showing all the major tenses, clearly set out with pronouns. Major constructions and idiomatic phrases are given for most verb models. Similarly conjugated verbs are listed with their translations for complete clarity. The introduction explains in detail each of the three conjugations, showing their regular endings in each conjugation for all the main tenses. It also deals with compound tenses and the use of the passive. Finally, an alphabetical index lists more than 2,000 widely used verbs, and each one cross-refers the user to its basic model in the main verb tables.
