Essential grammar taught simply and directly. 750 French Verbs and Their Uses gives you the backbone of language study -- correct verb usage -- by showing verb conjugations in their contexts. To understand the value of such an approach, consider the English verb "to hold," the meaning of which can change dramatically when used in expressions such as "hold on," "hold up," "hold off," and "hold down"; in French, as students of the language have perennially learned to their frustration, the changes are far broader and apply to many more verbs. Now you won't have to guess how a verb is used in a sentence: 750 French Verbs and Their Uses gives you all the correct variations and grammatical interrelationships. Correct usages are illustrated in common phrases and idiomatic expressions. Unusual or troublesome expressions are emphasized throughout. And special attention is given to reflexive verbs (often difficult for English speakers) to make their usage clear. Perfect for students and travelers, ideal as a text, a grammar book and a reference, 750 French Verbs and Their Uses will help you not only to conjugate verbs, but also to use them correctly and comprehensibly.

The 250 verbs presented in this book are carefully selected for French learners at level A1/A2. These verbs are the most common in speech and are often found in French literature.

On each page you will find le présent, le passé and le futur de l'indicatif. These three tenses are necessary to know how to conjugate verbs in imparfait de l'indicatif and plus-que-parfait, or to form the imperative. Each verb is accompanied by examples showing the use of prepositions in verbal constructions. It should be noted that in the examples other meanings of verbs other than the main meaning indicated in the header are presented.
