INTRODUCTION

This resource book provides a review of commonly misused by Russian speakers sets
of English verbs. Explanatory part (definitions and example sentences) includes sets of
close in meaning words, arranged according to the principle of semantic contiguity.
They are further practiced in various tasks, with the most often mixed up verbs - in
more numerous exercises.
The book can be applied both for independent and teacher-guided study.
In the former case, the bellow tips on how to proceed with learning the material in each
unit should be helpful.
1. Study carefully the definitions and illustrative examples for members of the
chains with related verbs.
2. Bear in mind that two, three, or even all of these words can have the same

additional explanation.
