Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8-A great resource for anyone wanting an overview of what a verb does in a sentence. The book covers the kinds of verbs and discusses tenses, predicate, and linking versus action verbs. It also lists 100 of the most commonly used irregular verbs with a chart listing the tenses. A few blue, black, and white decorative cartoons appear throughout. This book would be helpful for students who need further clarification with their grammar, and will be a useful companion to any grammar textbook. A copy in reference might also be worthwhile.

I was taking a class on verbs and I found out how much I had forgotten. This book helped me pass the class with an A. Great book, much needed by kids in school and adult writers. I highly recommend it to both.
