The shortest route to mastering verb conjugations

One of the greatest challenges in learning a language is mastering verb conjugations. The books in the unique Language Verb Drill series make it easier than ever for learners to meet that challenge.

Drilling, whether it's for learning a musical instrument, a sport, or a language, is an essential part of a sound education because repeated, concentrated practice makes specialized skills become second nature.

Unlike most verb books, which tend to concentrate on tables of conjugations, the books in the Language Verb Drills series allow students to focus exclusively on building mastery of verbs without being distracted by other elements of grammar. Combining the features of a workbook and reference manual, they clearly and systematically explain how a verb system works while providing numerous drills for practice. These revised editions of the popular study guides now include a final review section to reinforce the reader's ability to automatically select the correct verb form.

You want this book! June 5, 1999

Format:Paperback
This terrific (and bargain priced) book gets my vote for Best Supplemental French Text. It's an invaluable aid for current students and anyone wanting to brush up on their French.

Once you "get" French verbs, you're 90% of the way towards fluency. This book clearly and systematically explains how the French verb system works, providing numerous and varied exercises to practice each point.

There are also countless mastery and review exercises throughout.

Just a fabulous text -- very logically put together and very thorough. It has helped my understanding and mastery of French to increase by leaps and bounds.

If you're trying to teach yourself French, you may find the numerous verb tenses intimidating. This book will help you to overcome many of those fears. While the French use verbs in a more complex way than we Anglophones, they generally do so in a logical and orderly fashion. Once you've learned the future tense or the conditional tense, for instance, you'll find that it applies to most verbs.

De Sales helps you to understand those basic building blocks; the lessons are clear and basic, and if you follow them you will be well on your way to mastering French. The only nit I might pick is this: perhaps he could give the definition of a verb *before* using it in a sentence. There are cases when he will ask for a conjugation of a verb that has not yet been introduced... or a translation. You will definitely need another text or two along with this one... but if you use this you'll find the Mystery of French Verb Conjugation to be much less mysterious.

There are too many erros in the given solutions, too few examples of how to use verbs in context, and too little explanation.

Spend an extra 3 bucks and buy the superb Ultimate French Verb Review and Practice.

Cursory explanations and poorly organized
I was required to use this book for a class, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. Compared to my other books, I find this one to be overly simplistic and disorganized. Read more

A fairly good drill book
As a book for verb drills, this book is alright. It has a nice glossary in the back, and it has complete conjugations of many irregular verbs. Read more

Good, but not Great.
I bought this book because I'm a homeschooler. It is a very good workbook, but I wouldn't recommend it for those who are teaching themselves. Read more

drilling the best way to achieve mastery
As a teacher of French, I drill my students all the time. I have found that the students don't experience being drilled as monotonous, if you drill them at a fast pace. Read more
