Every French verb has 87 forms that a student of French has to learn. Verbes is the tool to do just that.

You can use Verbes in different ways:

- Learn the patterns of verb tenses by choosing a tense and then drilling yourself on verbs in that tense. Verbes will select a random verb conjugations and present it to you to drill, then show you the correct verb form - you then repeat the quiz/answer process as many times as you want. In this way, you learn not just specific forms for verbs, but the pattern of verb forms in tenses, so you can apply that pattern to any verb.

- Learn specific verbs. You can select one verb or create a verb list of verbs and have Verbes present you with drills on the verb you selected or verbs from your verbs list. You can create as many verb lists as you need, and have as many verbs on any list as you need.

- You can narrow down your learning by selecting only certain tenses, only certain verb types (-er verbs and/or -ir verbs and/or -re verbs), certain types (Regular verbs and/or Irregular verbs and/or Reflexive verbs) and certain Person/Numbers (je verb forms and/or tous verb forms, etc.). These can be combined in any way to suit your learning needs; for example, you could drill yourself on verbs with an infinitive ending in "-er", in the present tense, only regular forms, and only in the 1st person singular person/number ("je").

Verbes has over 700 verbs fully conjugated. These include all the verbs in Barrons 501 French Verbs.

- Test yourself. See your improvement! Verbes has three types of tests: timed, number of verbs, and a combination of both. you can selected how long you want the test or how many verbs you want the test to quiz you on. When the test is done, youll see your score. You can save the test results, and see a history of all saved tests - clear proof that youre learning!

- Create and save any number of verb lists. This allows you to study a small set of verbs as a unit. When you use a verb list, only the verbs from that list will be used for quizzing.

- See a verbs complete conjugation.

- See a sample conjugation, in English, showing how each tense is used.
