Useful Verbs and Tenses – eBook

Verbs and tenses are one of the most difficult parts of the English language for learners. There seem to be so many different tenses and structures that are not simple. The book is in five parts:
(1) The basics: the main terms used to describe different kinds of verb, eg transitive and intransitive.
(2) Tenses: the wide range of tenses in English, as in for example I work, I am working, I worked, I have worked, I had worked, I will have worked. This section ends with a summary of the different tenses.
(3) Other kinds of verb: auxiliaries (eg do, can, may); questions and negatives; the passive (eg The car was driven by Daniel); conditionals (with if); phrasal verbs, eg break down, make up; the infinitive; participles; reported speech; and the subjunctive.
(4) Useful verbs: some common verbs (eg come, do, make go, put, set) and their phrasal verbs, together with their definitions and examples of usage.
(5) Irregular verbs: a list of irregular verbs in English.
