Today, Verbitrix begins its journey.
Coined from verb and matrix, Verbitrix is an English grammar learning system. It's a large variation on the traditional verb table. In fact, you may say that it's the verb table come to life.
Technically, the common verb table displays examples of how verbs change: eat, ate, eaten or speak, spoke, spoken. It's one-dimensional. And it ends there. But Verbitrix takes it many levels up. Arranged in their respective columns are auxiliary verbs which are paired with activity verbs to form what are simply called verb formulas (grammar books call them verb conjugations).
Verb formulas are just an example of the many that Verbitrix can teach you to use successfully. A glance at the entire table immediately gives you an idea of all the verb formulations possible in the English grammar. Not just that. With Verbitrix, you can learn - among others - all about tenses, agreement, voice and conditionality. How to ask and answer questions. And make sentences correctly. Even, to some extent, how to speak real English.
Verbs are among the hardest to learn in English grammar. If, as a teacher, you're looking for a method to greatly simplify and explain the complexities of the verb, then Verbitrix holds all the answers, or at least most of them. As a student, if you're finding it hard to understand how tenses work or if you're frequently making verb form errors (and more), then Verbitrix is really what you would need.
I started developing Verbitrix around 1999 and have used it to teach working adults and students of all ages upward of 10 years old. Most of them have liked it very much. As for me, I'm always amazed, even now, how easy it is to use Verbitrix to instantly explain things that many learners of English find hard and take a long time to understand. And personally I'm still discovering new things about this immensely useful learning tool.
