501 Verbs

Description

In my high school French classroom, I always kept a set of these reference books for my students. 501 Verbs is a quality reference for student to use to expand their vocabulary and increase their fluency. The most common verbs are listed alphabetically by their infinitives (ie. to be, to play, to see, etc.). Under each verb are listed the conjugations for 14 different verb tenses. Common idioms that use the verbs are also included.

The CD-ROMs (not included with German #008943) have exercises you can print and complete. Some of these include: sentence completion, dialogues, word completion, word searches, and matching, all with an answer key.

Audio CDs have listening comprehension exercises to improve your pronunciation and verb conjugations. These CDs are compatible with your iPhone, iPod and other devices.

Students who are in the second year (or more) of language study will benefit most from this valuable resource book, since this is when they are getting into writing in the language. An easy-to-use, helpful resource as language students move forward in their studies. 730+ pgs, pb. ~ Sara
