A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

From the very earliest stages of study until far into the intermediate level, students of the Japanese language are continually scratching their heads over the usage of verbs. It is no wonder that they should feel the need for a solid reference book, one they can continually turn to throughout their studying careers. The Handbook of Japanese Verbs is just that book.
The Introduction takes the first step toward comprehension by pointing out the features of Japanese verbs that stand in contrast to their English counterparts, such as tense, politeness level, auxiliaries, and transitive and intransitive forms.
Part 1 shows through tables and concise commentary how Japanese verbs are categorized, conjugated, and combined with auxiliaries. Each form is followed by a short exercise, reinforcing the points just made.
Part 2 takes up the forms described in the first part and shows how they function in full-fledged sentences. Each discussion is followed by examples and exercises, ensuring that the student has understood the forms under discussion.
In the appendices, the student is offered a number of look-up methods, including an English-Japanese verb dictionary. This completes the apparatus necessary for a solid handbook on Japanese verbs, a book students can rely on for many years to come

Présentation de l'éditeur

This handbook aims to present clearly and concisely the basics of Japanese verb construction and to demonstrate how verbs work within various sentence structures. Part One deals with the conjugation of verbs: regular, semi-regular and irregular verbs. Conjugation practice for the student follows the description of a verb or group of verbs. Part Two deals with the usage of various verb forms. Each usage is illustrated with example sentences. Exercises are provided intermittently to test the student's progress. Appendices include exercise answers, a list of sentence patterns, a list of verbs divided into regular, semi-regular and irregular forms and an English-Japanese dictionary.
