The Everything French Verb Book is exactly what I've been wanting: an easy to use, yet detailed list of conjugated verbs. The book starts with a good summary of verb tenses and the conjugation rules, as well specific and easy to understand lists of the exceptions. (I would have liked a couple more paragraphs of grammar details, but hey, a reference book has to stop somewhere.) Then there are the verb charts with 250 verbs, both regular and irregular verbs, fully conjugated. Regardless of the rules, I'm frequently unsure of the exact spelling of the 2nd person plural conditional or the 1st person plural subjunctive and I really appreciate having it all printed out. The last section has 1000 verbs listed with the appropriate conjugation model verb. Just about every verb I could ever want. No more flipping through several different grammar books and multiple dictionary verb tables, no more guessing and hoping I have a verb spelled right -- it's all right here. For beginning French learners, intermediate speakers, and well beyond, this book is a must.

As a beginning French language student, I did not look forward to learning verb conjugations. Mrs. Lawless' no non-sense approach to verb conjugation is concise and to the point. I still don't like the task of learning verb conjugation, but now the task is much less daunting. It's pocket-book size makes it easy to carry with me and so makes it a handy reference. If you are serious about learning French, this book will be a invaluable tool.

The further I go with learning french, the more I realise the importance of mastering french verbs. This book starts with the best summary of verbs and tenses that I know of, and then provides a full conjugation of the 250 most useful french verbs. What's really handy is the way the book identifies the major families of verbs and their patterns. Highly recommended.
