Product details
If you have ever struggled with choosing exactly what tense or verb type you must use in your writing, then this is the book for you.
It was designed as a complete reference guide packed with information about all of the different types of verbs together with numerous examples. It is not a conventional grammar book, where you have to follow the text linearly in order to find the information you want, but it is a true reference book, somewhat like a dictionary but with far more detail. So if you need to find something you can go straight there and see how and why it's used, and instantly apply it to your work.
In addition, it lists every tense (both in the active and passive voice) together with all of the uses and examples for each tense (in every person in the positive, negative and question forms) in both the transitive and intransitive forms (with numerous examples of each). In the transitive forms the examples use noun phrases as objects and in the intransitive forms prepositional phrases are used as objects. There are also student worksheets for each tense that can be used in the classroom to allow students to create contextually sensitive sentences under teacher supervision or for self-learners using the tools on the associated website.
In order to help you to find exactly the right tense to use in your work there is a very comprehensive and unique tense selector at the end of the book, which tells you exactly what tense to use and how to use it (together with examples).
In addition to the verb phrase constructs, it lists all of the current verbs used in the various important verb functions (24 possession verbs, 64 sense verbs, 20 linking verbs, 76 state verbs, 8 semi-modal verbs, 12 modal verbs and 14 subjunctive verbs). In each instance the meaning/definition of each individual verb, together with multiple examples of it in action, are provided. It also covers irregular verbs (together with a list of all 260 irregular verbs) and regular verbs together with examples.
The book sections are:
Verb forms, Abbreviations, Verbs of possession, Sense verbs, Auxiliary verbs, Linking verbs, State verbs, Modal and semi-modal verbs (including using modals with the perfect tense), Tense, Aspect and Mood, Intransitive and transitive verbs, Irregular -v- regular verbs, Conditionals, Subjunctive and other moods, Question formation, Subject/verb Agreement, Tense meanings and uses, Functions of verb tenses, Creating passive voice (and where it is used), Active voice (with full descriptions), Passive voice (with full descriptions).
Pronunciation is also covered, with innovative pronunciation exercises, which highlight the use of the IPA alphabet, and with the current pronunciation for each of the specialist verbs.
Finally, there is a new methodology (CORE), based on 8 years of research at a top Asian university, which is designed to make it easier to learn how to create and use verb structures.
