Chiuchiù, Fazi, Bagianti, I VERBI ITALIANI: REGOLARI E IRREGOLARI, Guerra Edizioni


The main aim of the book is to develop a correct use of verbs, regarding both moods and tenses. The authors have been particularly careful about the presentation of various verbal forms in graphic "-boxes "- (defined by H. Palmer as substitution tables). These boxes not only help to present the forms of each verb in a situational context, but they also give foreign students other important advantages: a) irregular forms put into focus through the use of bold types b) the constant visualisation of all moods and tenses c) a better assimilation of regular conjugation forms. Beside this, considering the most common mistakes made by foreign students, this book through a series of concise layouts tackles the following topics:

1. the use of auxiliary verbs in compound tenses
2. the use of perfect/imperfect tenses
3. the subjunctive mood
4. the imperative in the negative form
5. the subjunctive depending on the conditional
6. "if "- clauses
