Summary: Very useful
Review: Conjugating verbs is not as easy as it seems (lay, had lain?...). What 501 English Verbs does is show you how to conjugate a verb so you don't sound like a hillbilly. Especially useful for irregular verbs.

Summary: A fantastic resources for teachers of Spanish
Review: Having been a bilingual or Spanish teacher for the past twenty plus years, at times I have needed a book just like this one! Unfortunately, a year ago, it was lost! I loved the book. Any time I quickly needed to check a conjugation or was playing a game and wanted to know the exact conjugation for my students, I found it in this text! It is definitely a *5* star resource for teachers!

Summary: 501 English verbs
Review: I learned French and Spanish using their equivalent... 501 French and 501 Spanish verbs....and now I buy this book and give it to new learners of English when I teach them. Gaining a command of English, or any language, depends first upon your mastery of the verbs as presented in such a book. Sure, no more information is conveyed about the structure of the various forms than could be conveyed with 50 verbs, but it is handly to have the extra verbs defined in a single reference.

Summary: Needlessly complicated and filled with fluff
Review: I purchased this book to review for our language school's ESL program. Though it is a useful tool in presenting all of the complexities of the English verb, as a practical tool for ESL students I cannot recommend it. It is needlessly complicated in its format. The book contains unusual and infrequent English verbs, such as "to cleave", "to yes" or "to be hemmed." It even provides two conjugations for "to hide," one meaning to conceal and one meaning to beat. However, this difference is noted only at the bottom of the page. These sorts of verbs permeate this book. It seems that English has plenty of high frequency verbs that make inclusion of so many bizarre and passive voice verbs unnecessary. This book bears little resemblance to its excellent cousins in the series: 501 French or Spanish verbs.

Summary: A Book Only Useful for ESL Beginners
Review: When I bought this book, I was expecting that I could refer to many usages of 501 verbs. However, the content of this book was just presenting various verb forms, like "I, we, you, they forgive", "he, she, it forgives", "I am forgiving" and "we, you, they are forgiving." If you learn English only for a couple of months, you will know these things. So, I am not going to recommend this one to anyone except beginners.
