On my website are many pages about verbs. You could choose one, and maybe traditionally, study it like when you have one book with one or more chapters about verbs - read it again and again, try to memorize the material, commit it to memory — but wouldn't it be more pleasant and less boring to just read several versions of the material like suggested below and listen at ease to the examples (a memory help you don't get in a book.) Repetition is good. A more relaxed way of learning.
There are so many pages on the website! I can see that it may be difficult for students to choose a page to start with, and where to go after that. I hope this 'Learning Verbs' page will help you students with verbs.
