Customer Review #1:
 awesome... totally awesome
This book is absolutely packed with almost everything a language student could need. As it lists, there are five hundred one verbs, all arranged alphabetically throughout the book. It lists each verb in its seven simple tenses (present indicative, imperfect, past absolute, future, present conditional, present subjunctive, and imperfect subjunctive) and its seven compound tenses (present perfect, past perfect, past anterior, future perfect, past conditional, past subjunctive, and past perfect subjunctive). It has a page on pronunciation of Italian vowels and consonants, and then it goes into talking about how to conjugate the verbs. It begins with showing how to conjugate regular verbs, following this with the Italian translations of each tenses and moods name. An example conjugation of an English verb is then shown to help illustrate what each tense means. After this comes further explanation of the verbs tenses and moods, in which it deals with each of the fourteen given tenses. It simplifies the regular conjugation endings after this by showing what is taken away and added to each infinitive for each tense. Then finally come the five hundred one verbs, each one with at least two example sentences to help the reader understand its usage. Afterward comes a section on verbs which take a preposition, a list of phrases in Italian for dealing with everyday situation, days, months, how to count to 100, currency, weights, measures, temperatures, and clothing measurements. Lastly come two indices dealing with the verbs: first the index about irregular forms commonly found in the language, matching them with the verb from which they are inflected; then comes the index of English-Italian verbs as a cross-reference. This is an awesome choice to not be overlooked. Glancing through the book every so often will help to increase your vocabulary, and if you stick to a plan of learning so many verbs a day/week, youll be learning them even more quickly. Its a simple and awesome book that any student or teacher would enjoy and appreciate.

Customer Review #2:
 OK reference, but lacking . . .
Im disappointed that the first verb I looked up, "provare" (to try) was not in this book. How many other verbs will be missing? Im looking for another definitive guide to italian verbs now, or maybe a new edition with some modifications?

Customer Review #3:
OK but no more
This book contains 501 verbs + 1000 which is conjugated in the same way. It doesnt indicate If a verb is regular or irregular and you dont know in which tenses an irregular verb is irregular. If you think that these limitations are OK, I think that Harrap Italian Verbs is a better choise than this book,it is pocket-sized and contains 2800 entries (> 200 is fully conjugated). If you want a verb book where the irregular parts of the tenses are clearly indicated, "I verbi italiani: regolari e irregolari" by A. Chiuchiù is an excellent choise.
