On English Tuning Series

English Tuning learning manuals target those who began learning English but haven’t completed the task. Those who remember something while missing something else. Those who kind of know the language but are shy to use it as they lack the confidence that whatever they say is correct. Those who have been willing to study English but just wouldn’t start it.

Our books will help you fine-tune the skills you already have, recall the words and structures you know, learn new ones and start using them from the very first lessons. Our materials target an international audience so you will recognize many expressions and phrases from ads, movies and songs.

English Tuning publications are designed for a wide audience of EFL students – from schoolchildren to adults and senior learners. It is a great hands-on supplement to theoretical materials of other authors and series but can be used separately to practice the language aspects covered by each of our books.

Though language structures you study need multiple repetitions, English Tuning allows you to do it with comfort. You will easily recognize some characters but, of course, any matches with real persons or events are purely coincidental. We try to provide the material in a concise manner to avoid wasting your time on overcoming additional linguistic difficulties and searching for necessary meanings in dictionaries. We use modern vocabulary. We mix exercises with humor. Generally, we try to make English learning fun and interesting. Enjoy your English Tuning!

Preface

This book is to help you memorize the forms of English irregular verbs.

It consists of three sections: the first features 75 of the most common verbs, the second has 108 and the third has 171 verbs. If you are just a beginner, try Section 1 – these verbs are enough for most everyday situations. Section 2 provides all verbs from the first part and a number of quite widespread verbs used in day-to-day English, so for most learners the optimal choice is to do tasks from Section 1 and Section 2. Those willing to learn English thouroughly are recommended to work through all three parts.

The structure of all sections is the same – they start with tables containing the verbs of the relevant section grouped by spelling or pronunciation. They are followed by a summary table of all these verbs in the alphabetical order and exercices which are first arranged in the alphabetical order of the verbs practiced. So if you have learned only the first ten verbs from the summary table, you will be able to practice them in an exercise right away.

As irregular verbs are closely linked with English tenses, some exercises target only the past simple tense, others use present perfect, and the rest have a combination of these two tenses.

Some tables have an empty Translation column. Please fill it in with equivalents of the verbs in your language.

I would like to thank all my teachers, students and colleagues for their help, inspiration and support!

Please send your comments, wishes and suggestions to englishtuning@mail.ru.
