Fantastic little reference book.
I have been working my way through the "Teach Yourself" course on Dutch and the accompanying grammar book. Both are very good but i was extremely disappointed to find that the latter especially did not have any verb tables. Therefore I was extremely lucky in being able to find this book (along with a secondhand Cassell's Dutch Dictionary) on Amazon. The initial introduction to basic grammar and use is very clear but it is the comprehensiveness of the verb tables and the nice, clear layout that makes this book so good. I would say it is indespensible as a reference guide to anyone who wants to learn the Dutch language.

Does exactly what it says on the tin
I have only just started learning Dutch. This book is excellent for the beginner having full conjugation of most verbs you are likely to use at a beginner level. I am not yet able to say if it would be useful for someone more advanced in the language.

Dutch Grammar
This book helped me a lot with Dutch verbs' conjugation. It's really useful if you want to start learning Dutch. The explanations are clear. I would also recommend "Dutch Grammar" by the same author.It's exactly what I expected it to be. Nothing less, nothing more.

Bought it based on other reviews, feel compelled to add to the praise.
It's a good book, laid out in a logical order and covers the basics of Dutch grammar. It provides a framework that one can work with and adapt to formulate sentences correctly. I'm still working my way through it (I bought it to use as a textbook), but so far I've found it to be a very worthwhile purchase. I would recommend it to anyone attempting to learn the language and if I were to make one nitpick, it would that a pronounciation guide would be useful. However, there are plenty of resources online for this, so it's neither here nor there really.

Very handy
A very useful book for anyone learning Dutch. The foreword clearly explains the best way to use the book and you will find pretty much every Dutch verb under the sun in here! A good reference book for people learning Dutch.

A useful book to help with the conjugation of the verbs
A useful book to help with the conjugation of the verbs. There is a section in the front giving an explanation about how to use the book. Very useful book.

Excellent formula
Ideal for those wanting to learn Dutch thoroughly, and not just parrot-fashion. I have the 201 Spanish verbs too. The whole verb is set out fully conjugated. If you like a grammatical approach to a language, this is great. I

Sets the standard for this type of book
I bought a used copy of the book from Amazon. The copy I received was in good condition and I have no complaints on that score.Prior to ordering a used copy from Amazon I attempted to purchase a new copy, or else the larger volume 501 Dutch Verbs from the same publisher. The 201 version appears to be out of print, and the 501 version may possibly be as well.This is the third reference book on Dutch verbs I have ordered from Amazon. The other two take different approaches to the subject. I consider one of these to be very poor, and the other clearly not as good as 201 Dutch Verbs.The book starts off with a discussion/explanation in English of spelling and pronounciation, personal pronouns, strong and weak verbs, and of course verb conjugations and how they are used. This is dry material, but useful.The bulk of the book consists of the 201 verbs, fully conjugated. There is one verb per page, sorted alphabetically. While about 80% of each page is the indicative active conjugations, there is information for the passive forms at the bottom of the page.Starting on page 237 there is a glossary of 1500 verbs, with less information about each than the preceeding full conjugations.Finally, at the back of the book starting on page 307, there is a listing of the 201 verbs, this time with the English verbs sorted alphabetically and the corresponding Dutch verbs beside them. This enables the user to find the desired verb without resorting to a dictionary.Overall, the book is well presented and complete. It is a valuable tool for anyone who is serious about speaking Dutch.My only complaint is the small format of the book, and the publisher and perhaps some users may consider this an advantage. There is a lot of information on each page, with the result that a small font is used. I would have liked something larger simply because it is easier to read. That is probably the case with the 501 Dutch Verbs from the same publisher, if a copy can be obtained.

Un manuale utile per l'apprendimento
E' un volume di non grandissime dimensioni, molto utile a chi vuole studiare seriamente l'olandese, in una delle sue parti più importante, quali i verbi. Il libro è chiaro e permette una buona fruizione di tutti gli aspetti.E' utile agli studiosi ed agli appassionati.

It Does What it Sets Out to Do and then Some.
This is a very useful reference. Understanding of verbs and how they are conjugated is fundamental in learning a language. This book lays out the information very clearly along with an exhaustive list of these verbs and their derivative verbs in the back part of the book (e.g. halen, herhalen).Verbs lead to their past participles, adjectives, adverbs and noun spin-offs, so it's an important window to understanding any languages I have ever studied.

Excellent Book Both For Beginners and Advanced Nederlands Speakers.
This book of Dutch verbs is an excellent resource for all non-native Ducth speakers. It contains all versions of the most commonly encountered Dutch verbs, both regular and irregular the various tenses are clearly and comprehensibly presented, and there are a few grammar tips included in the book. I have been a non-native Dutch speaker for 35 years, and I still have occasional need for this little book. If you are just beginning to study the language, you will not want to be without this. Along with a good Nederlands dictionary, and a thorough grammar book, this collection of verbs will take you far. This is the newest revision, and offers considerable updates from my last version of the same title. Another book that you will need is: "Het Groene Boekje" ( The Little Green Book ). That book shows the correct article and the plural version of the various Dutch nouns, as well as the correct and official latest spellings, and the new Dutch words that have been officially added to the Dutch language. Highly recommended for all Dutch speakers.
