Mastering verbs is a must for language learners. French verbs can initially seem difficult to conjugate, but as thousands of French verbs all follow one of three key patterns, identifying and learning these can make using the correct form of the verb easy. Even irregular verbs follow certain patterns, and this new resource provides ample practice to help learners memorise these. It has been exciting to work with the Vocab Express team to develop an accessible and engaging way to help young learners learn verbs.

Vocab Express has stood the test of time with our students. We’ve had it for more than two years now but just yesterday one student explained it like this to a new girl to the school: “It’s wicked. You just learn loads!”
