Here is an overview of when to use the base form (simple form), the infinitive form (to + verb), the present participle (-ing), or the past participle (-ed or irregular). This guide covers many of those specific cases like the subjunctive mood, gerunds, causative verbs, verbs of perception, etc. There are some practice activities on the last page.
This is a free online course for learning the Mandinka language, or Mandinka kaŋo, as it is spoken in Senegal and The Gambia. This is original material I compiled during and after living in the Fatick region of Senegal, from 2017 to 2020, with help from my Mandinka host-family from Ngadior Dayame, my karamo: Ismaila Dieme; an LCF (Language and Cross-Cultural Facilitator) from Ziguinchor, Senegal, and many others!

English irregular verbs display a vowel shift called an ablaut, rather than the regular past tense and past participle verb ending: -ed. This list is helpful in learning or memorizing these tricky irregular vowel shifts and added endings because it is grouped by pattern of similar sound changes.
This grouping isn't just a mnemonic trick; it's a look at the "rhyme and reason" behind the chaos.
By organizing verbs into groups based on their patterns of change (like the i-a-u group of sing, sang, sung) you will start to see the ancient Germanic logic that still forms the backbone of modern English. It turns a list of exceptions into a joyfully melodic series of predictable and rhythmic patterns!
This multilingual vocabulary guide is the first in a series, aiming to cover the most common words and phrases. This was designed for beginner Haitian Creole, French, and Spanish speaking students.
This guide is to help you study the most important vocabulary of English. For multisyllabic English words, the underlined part shows which syllable is pronounced with more emphasis.
Underline each word you do not know and make flash cards with these to study later.
After each section, write sentences using those words.
