Collins Gem French Verbs

This rebranded third edition is the perfect guide to French verb tables, in a handy format.


An indispensable tool for all learners of French, the main section of this book consists of 112 fully conjugated French verbs, regular and irregular. Each is self-contained in a double-page spread showing all of the tenses, clearly set out with pronouns. Major constructions and idiomatic phrases are given for most verb models. Similarly conjugated verbs are listed with their translations.


The introduction gives a detailed explanation of each of the three verb conjugations, showing the regular endings in each conjugation for all the main tenses. It also deals with compound tenses and the use of the passive. Finally, an alphabetical index lists over 2,000 widely-used verbs, each one cross-referred to its basic model in the main verb tables.
