Good Reference addition

Finally, a book full of useful and 'real' life examples. This book provides clear usage of the many verbs listed using an assortment of tenses and conjugations. Don't expect this book to teach you how to conjugate verbs like the `501 verbs' book but, it will show you how to use those 501 verbs under a variety of contexts.I wouldn't recommend this book to a novice since the book seems to assume that you have knowledge of most of the tenses. In fact, I'd probably find the book a little confusing/frustrating if I were at the "Italian 101" level. But for intermediate students, especially those whom are writing essays, I think the book is a good addition to their Italian library references.

For people who really want to learn Italian!

When I picked up this book, I had no idea that it would exceed my expectations. The book takes verbs and explains the how to use them in depth so that one really knows Italian. I have used it with my courses and find that students really understand in native speakers usage of the verb. I don't think this a book for people who want to use as a cheat cheat to write verbs as it isn't a conjugation book so much as a complete verb book. I am extremely impressed with this book and recommend it for those who seriously want to learn Italian!

VERY USEFUL!!

I also own the 501 verbs book and this book is so much like that one but more in depth since it not only presents the verbs and their conjugations but some useful expressions and phrases along with verb usages. I reccomend this book for students, teachers, professionals and even those just learning or want to brush up on grammar skills.
