BEST VERB REVIEW BOOK I'VE EVER HAD. The exercises are simple, quick, and comprehensive. If you new at spanish this is great and if you are a experienced speaker this is good for brushing up on verb usage. I love this book.

This extremely thorough and clearly laid-out reference book includes the following information: (1) extensive grammatical information on Spanish verbs; (2) 87 pages of tables of model verbs, including all moods and tenses, with every irregular verb form; (3) an alphabetical listing of 5000 verbs with their definition in English and a referral to a particular model verb which has the same conjugation; (4) information on prepositions used with verbs; (5) idiomatic verb expressions; (6) regional use of Spanish verbs; (7) regional use of ustedes and vos.
I highly recommend this excellent Spanish-verb guide to anyone who is currently studying Spanish or who has studied it in the past and is looking for a handy way to review verbs.

Arm yourself with verbs.  The nouns will come in time,
and adjectives and adverbs are a more advanced tool that you
will naturally acquire through extensive reading and speaking.
No, to gain fluency and functionality, you need verbs.
This book is a collection of 501 Portuguese verbs, with full
conjugations listed and some very informative usage examples below each listing.  Each verb takes up a page, has the English definition at the top, and lists the usage examples at the bottom.
The index at the end of the book lists verbs in English, then in Portuguese, providing an excellent method for finding your verb choice even if you are a Portueguse student learning English.  Yes, I meant exactly that: in learning Portuguese, I have found it helpful and enlightening to see what English words a Portuguese-speaker might choose, as it gives me insight into what a native might feel is the best translation of an idea.
The best feature of this book, however, is the front matter.  It explains each conjugation in depth, because if you are anything like me, you've forgotten exactly what a future subjunctive is.  Heck, I don't even know if I've used a grammatical term there or not; good thing I bought this book though, because it'll tell me in plain terms what I need to know.
This is truly a five-star reference.  A comprehensive dictionary would surpass it in coverage, but from the perspective of learning Portuguese, this book has no peer.

I have a previous version of this, and have to assume the present version is very similar.

This is an excellent book for anyone wanting a condensed form of grammer.  No it is not like Nitta's book, but it would well accompany it.  Whereas Nitta has all the verb conjugations and few examples, this has plenty of examples and few verbs.  And whereas Nitta puts a breif explanation of the various tenses all together in the beginning of "501...", this books gives you the same info one chapter at a time with examples.  Thus, if you are confused by all the various verb tenses in portugues and can't keep straight the meanins of pluperfect and imperfect et al, this books will get you on the right road.

Obviously I don;t agree with the three star reviewer as to the value of this book.  I am not sure it is a full five stars, but it is more than four.  Put it together with "501..." and a coursebook like Ponto de Encontras and you have pretty much all you need.

Highly recommended for students of Greek at any level, whether studying in a class or on your own (like me).  I have found every verb I needed in this book. Well organized, thorough and easy to use. Written entirely in Greek using the Greek alphabet.

I purchased this several years ago at a grocery store in Greece and have found it to be indispensable.  The first section is a 100-page index of virtually all Greek verbs, along with the past perfect, e.g., volodervo, volodira (sorry, Amazon's Review doesn't accept Greek characters)  and a reference to the page showing all conjugations for the verb.  I'm reading my first Greek novel and appreciate being able to skim this section, looking at the past participles, to identify the verb in the present tense so I can look it up in my dictionary.

The next section is appx 235 pages, with each page devoted to the conjugation of 1 verb/1 voice: All persons in all tenses in both the active and passive voices (indicative, subjunctive, imperative, the participles).  Verbs listed in the index that match all the conjugations will reference this verb; e.g., agorazo is conjgation #35; the index will reference #35 for the verbs agorazo, agnoniazo, adiazo, etc.)  Separate pages for Active and Passive voices (e.g., agorazo, agorazomai).

The last section is appx 50 pages of notes about certain verbs.

I almost puchased a 501 verbs conjugation book, but checked it out from the library first. I'm glad I did. It was way too bulky for a book that had so few verbs in it. The bershelle verb book is slim and has a very long list of verbs, their definitions, and exactly what page you can find the conjugations on. The other book left you guessing. I plan on using this book thoughout my french education. Il est tres utile pour appendre le francais.

This was a great find - a grammar book that doesn't bore me to tears. I was debating whether to subscribe to Grammarly for $30 a month or try this book for $2.99 to work on my grammar. I've just started on it but everything is clicking in place. That says a lot because I've tried reading other books on this subject. I love your writing style - it's meaty and to the point. I've also purchased two of your other books in this series - "Mastering Showing and Telling in Your Fiction" and "How to Write Dialogue." I think they're amazing too! Once I finish studying them all in their entirety, I'll be back to buy more of your books. Sincerely, your newest fan :)

This book has a very clear organization and layout for learning French verbs.  It presents the material, and then there are ample exercises for practicing writing the correct verb tense and spellings.  I like that you write some complete sentences.  Each chapter covers a different verb tense.  I am using this workbook for review practice on verbs.  It's a pleasant workbook to use and aesthetically attractive.  Very happy with this purchase.

I had over 40 books on Spanish grammar and 30 of those books went to charity after discovering this gem.  I have never seen a better organized, more comprehensive and fun text on grammar, its a delightful read but doesn't pussy-foot around ... it gets it on!  It spans the gambit of intermediate Spanish.  It's one of the few books on language that can advance your skills sans teacher.

When I was at school some clever academic decided that learning grammar was not necessary.  Consequently learning any language has been a nightmare.  With this book I have been able to get my head around verbs not just Latin ones but how verbs work in English.  I don't think any grammar book would be given five stars for love but for usefulness definitely

This is great for reassessing English and grammar. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to improve and really challenge themselves.

This book has been absolutely great. I appreciate the detailed framework but it doesn't bog you down.  I use it in combination with the free app Duolingo and feel like I've made 11/2 years progress in 6 months.

On the CD they speak slowly, clearly and pause for you to practice between each word.  I continue to go back and brush up or jump ahead if I need grammar help for Duolingo.

If you are serious about learning Spanish and attaining fluency, you have to master verbs, and this book is a must buy.  This book in simple terms explains the formation for all the verb tenses and moods, with the general rules and the exceptions.  There are numerous examples and practice sentences and paragraphs.  It may be helpful to repeat the written exercises once or more.  Once you are truly familiar with all the material presented, you will not be confused about when to use the indicative, subjuntive, or imperative moods or how to form the various present, past, or future tenses in Spanish.

There isn't much I can say that has not already been said about this book.  Hands down, it's excellent!  I have a BA in French, and I would not have made it through school without it.

When I left France after studying there in college, my host mom bought my copy from me for her kids, ages 9 and 12 (at the time).  She said that they did not have a verb book as comprehensive as 501 French Verbs--not even the Becherelle verb book that was used by children in France.

I am currently taking a refresher course in advanced French grammar, and 501 French Verbs is helping me through some very painful verb drills.

I bought this book in order to teach myself all of the Spanish verb tenses and it worked! I eventually learned them all in class but doing the exercises in this book made them beyond easy for me when the professor got to them. I had a mastery of the verb tenses that impressed everyone....and I didn't tell them my secret....well I did tell one person, I think. :)
