Regular verbs, irregular verbs, two-word verbs... The Verb Well Book One covers them all! Each The Verb Well book in the series is a reproducible illustrated compendium of verbs, verb forms and verb use (150 verbs each book). Thematically arranged so as to promote meaningful use and effective recall, The Verb Well introduces learners to the formal variations and the grammatical patterns required for accurate utilization of a carefully selected range of essential verbs and also displays representative contexts in which these verbs are likely to be encountered in real life. The Verb Well will be one of those indispensable books you keep coming back to again and again.
The design of this book
The Verb Well three-book series offers a carefully crafted set of verb-vocabulary materials to cover 450 frequent and useful verbs, 150 verbs per book. Each book in the reproducible series presents thirty easy-to-learn clusters of five verbs each, with each cluster organized according to meaning. Some share a common activity or setting e.g. ""Garden"": dig - harvest - plant - rake - water. Others are governed by a key concept e.g. ""Competition"": compete - attack - fight - struggle - race. Either way, the organization has a thesaurus-like quality, in that the verbs always appear in a context created through inclusion of other related terms.
This organizational plan has two important advantages. First of all, it helps students experience success with the crucial vocabulary-learning strategy of consistently grouping new words to be learned around an easily recalled center of meaning. Such an approach facilitates visualization, verbal-association, chaining, and other familiar memory-enhancement techniques that can definitely promote vocabulary learning. Secondly, the structure of the book is designed to underline the necessity of recognizing and mastering distinctions between words that may be generally similar in meaning but that cannot be substituted for each other.
Thus, for instance, the ""Etiquette"" group includes both insult and snub, and the ""Liquids"" group includes pour, spill, and sprinkle. Introducing this fairly simple but nonetheless eye-opening level of semantic subtlety helps overcome learners' common tendency to take a one-word-fits-all approach to vocabulary learning, that short-sighted expedient can lead to learning just very general expressions which are then over-used and overextended to the detriment of precision and flexibility.
The verbs presented in the Verb Well series were chosen for frequency and utility. Three major word-frequency lists were
Of course, verbs make up only a part of the total word-store of any speaker, so that a selection of 450 verbs as in the entire three-book series represents a sub-set of a quite extensive vocabulary. Nevertheless, conscientious attention to frequency and utility has made it possible to bring together a very convincing and practical survey of verbs that really are worth either reviewing or learning from scratch."
