One useful method for studying verbs is to take an excerpt of several paragraphs—print out an article from an Italian newsweekly—and highlight every verb. Then translate each verb and identify the tense. Parse it out—write out the infinitive, look up the word in a dictionary if you don’t know it, and be sure to clarify the tense. You will improve your comprehension immeasurably since verbs are the key to the language.
