Collins Easy Learning German Verbs

The Easy Learning German Verbs is designed for both young and adult learners. Whether you are starting to learn German for the very first time, brushing up your language skills or revising for exams, the Easy Learning German Verbs and its companion volume, the Easy Learning German Grammar, are here to help.

Newcomers can sometimes struggle with the technical terms they come across when they start to explore the grammar of a new language. The Easy Learning German Verbs contains a glossary which explains verb grammar terms using simple language and cutting out jargon.

The text is divided into sections to help you become confident in using and understanding German verbs. The first section looks at verb formation. Written in clear language, with numerous examples in real German, this section helps you to understand the rules which are used to form verb tenses.

The next section of text looks at certain common prepositions which are used with a number of verbs. Each combination of verb plus preposition is shown with a simple example of real German to show exactly how it is used.

The Verb Tables contain 127 important German verbs (both regular and irregular) which are given in full for various tenses. Examples show how to use these verbs in your own work. If you are unsure how a verb goes in German, you can look up the Verb Index at the back of the book to find either the conjugation of the verb itself, or a cross-reference to a model verb, which will show you the patterns that verb follows.

The Easy Learning German Grammar takes you a step further in your language learning. It supplements the information given in the Easy Learning German Verbs by offering even more guidance on the usage and meaning of verbs, as well as looking at the most important aspects of German grammar. Together, or individually, the Easy Learning titles offer you all the help you need when learning German.
