The verbs groups are:

= Italian -ARE verbs
= Italian -ERE verbs
= Italian -IRE verbs

The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage. I’ve found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their conjugation skills are developing well.

I’ve used these ‘quick conjugations’ for many years with my Italian classes. My students definitely find them to be a great way of practising, reinforcing and revising how to conjugate essential verbs in Italian. I use them in a range of contexts such as independent work either in class time or at home, holiday refresher work, or individual activities for cover lessons.

I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practise the conjugations during the whole school year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how Italian conjugation ‘works’.

Each workbook comprises the following:

Two alphabetical verb reference lists: Italian-English and English-Italian.

Three conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations:

Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in Italian across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation.

Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in Italian, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in Italian.

Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding Italian verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt.

Notes and Next Steps, which encourages students to think about how their understanding of Italian conjugation works, reflect on what progress they have made, what their targets for improvement might realistically be, and what they might reasonably do in order to meet those targets. They also use this page to note any new verbs they learn, which helps them build up a comprehensive Italian verb vocabulary. It’s also a useful tool to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really popular activity with my students.

6-page answer key book which is absolutely essential in my view. Answer keys help students develop more independence in their learning, and provide them with an additional opportunity to engage with language and grammar. They also genuinely enjoy correcting their own - and particularly each others’ - work, and they’re a great teacher time saver too, which is always a good thing.
