What each verb page shows

Each page gives the verb's English meaning and type, and its infinitive, present (er/sie/es), simple past (er/sie/es), past participle and auxiliary. Then comes a table for every tense, grouped as indicative, perfect tenses, subjunctive and imperative, with every person. The forms are the ones the worksheet generator prints in its answer keys, so a page and a worksheet always agree.
