Overview

"One of the major difficulties facing learners of Italian (indeed, any language) is correct formation and use of verbs. Competing directly with Barron's 501 Italian Verbs, hitherto the ""Bible"" for high school and adult learners, the Big Green Book of Italian Verbs makes a quantum leap in usefulness and clarity. This indispensable reference not only includes more verbs, a better selection of verbs, and more tenses - it provides ample contextual usage that show how the verbs are used. The Top 50 verbs are treated to extensive examples illustrating basic meanings, use with prepositions, and key idiomatic expressions - conveniently located on the facing page. Ease of use and clarity of layout similarly mark the presentation of each tense in the Introduction. Rules of formation and explanations of usage (and equivalent meaning in English) are displayed in spreads for each tense. Reflexive verbs and the Passive are similarly treated. In almost all key respects, the Big Green Book of Italian Verbs is a significant improvement on the existing materials available, and will prove the grammar aid and reference of choice for learners of Italian. Based on a comparison of languages across different series, we could expect sales of 50 per cent - 75 per cent the level of the Big Blue Book of French Verbs."
