Lessons on the English Verb

Walter Hirtle is associate professor, Laval University, and the author of several books including Time, Aspect, and the Verb.

"This book is far superior to standard reference grammars of English, even the best ones. Particularly valuable is the reliance upon authentic linguistic data." Joseph Davis, The City College, The City University of New York "Remarkable in its scope and ambition. Hirtle is one of the few 'Anglo-Saxon' linguists not only to have attained a profound understanding of the workings and implications of psycho-mechanics but also to have succeeded in rendering it accessible to non-French-speaking readers and to students, whether of ESL or of English grammar in general. This is no minor achievement." Dennis Philps, Universit de Toulouse-Le Mirail
