French Verb Drills - R. de Roussy de Sales ... One of the greatest challenges in learning a language is mastering verb conjugations.

It is, however, purely a reference book that does not give any practice exercises. If you are looking for a workbook for verbs, French Verb Drills by R. de Roussy de Sales would be an excellent choice. The book is divided into two main sections, Part 1 being on regular verbs and part 2 on irregular verbs.
