Verbs are our friends (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 201 Dutch Verbs: Fully Conjugated in All the Tenses (201 Verbs) (Paperback)

This book should really be 1500 Dutch verbs, since the most useful part of the book is the section with 1500 verbs giving the reader the infinitive, simple past, and past participle, and indicating if there is separable prefix, along with translation. This is particularly useful in Dutch. There are also 201 verbs fully conjugated, but this is not so important as in some languages since most Dutch verbs conjugate quite regularly once you know the past and the participles. Its still good to have as a beginner of course. I would say this book is much better than some of the other 201 verbs books. I have 201 Italian, Spanish and Russian Verbs too, and they don't have any of the extras that this book has, such as the grammar summary and other bonus sections. This book is so good, in fact, I recommend it for those who don't even have an interest in the Dutch language. You just might after you browse through this great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific reference book for conjugated verbs, April 2, 2004

This review is from: 201 Dutch Verbs: Fully Conjugated in All the Tenses (201 Verbs) (Paperback)

My textbooks for the other languages I have studied always included a conjugation guide to most common irregular verbs at the back. When I discovered that my Dutch textbook lacked this feature, I invested in this book. Although my Dutch-English dictionary includes a brief listing of irregular verb formations in the beginning, the format of this book is significantly easier to understand. I particularly use it when I need to double-check my spelling (a feature for which my dictionary is nearly useless). I'm afraid that I'll have to disagree with the previous reviewer's assertion that public humiliation is the only way to learn (Dutch) spelling. I am a native English speaker and I still use my Webster's Unabridged nearly every day; there's no reason I shouldn't be able to do the same in Dutch.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than you expect..., May 25, 2002

This review is from: 201 Dutch Verbs: Fully Conjugated in All the Tenses (201 Verbs) (Paperback)

This book is exactly what it says it is- 201 verbs fully conjugated - with a few extras.
It is a very good reference point, and is very helpful to the beginning student when learning to conjugate verbs. This book can be used as a reference point on how verbs are conjuated in the different tenses, and can be used as well to check your work. Each verb is given it's own page, with the Present, Past, Future, Conditional, Present Perfect, Past Perfect, Future Perfect, and Conditional Perfect tenses. Some verbs also have information on their Indictive Passive tense.
Additionally, this book includes a glossary of 1500 additional verbs (with those listed in the main part of the book bold-faced), a small section (24 pages) on basic grammer related to verb use, information on verb-classes (weak, strong, irregular) in Dutch and a verb index arranged alphabetically by the English translation.
Highly recommended!
