Excellent Book - I finally understand! September 13, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book and the rest in its series have been the answer to all of my problems! It is full of very clear explanations and plenty of exercises on each topic so you fully understand the tense you are studying before you move on to another one.
Very useful book with lots of exercises June 20, 2007

I think this is an excellent book, with lots of exercises to get your teeth into. It is well laid out and each section progresses in clear, logical steps. Along with the "USO De La Gramatica Espanola" series (which I would also highly recommend to those who like a challenge), I would say this is one of the best Spanish textbooks I own - and having studied the language for over five years I've collected loads of them!
Detailed, user friendly and highly effective May 6, 2007

As an advanced learner of Spanish I feel well placed to be able to comment on the usefulness and effectiveness of this book. This book has many strengths that I found to be especially useful in the course of my studies. Firstly, the verb tenses are explained clearly, as opposed to some books which use technical language and then quickly move on assuming the learner "got it" (e.g. "attach the gerund to the suffix of the infinitive"). This book by contrast goes into detail, in plain English, to make sure the learner is clear on the tense. Additionally, each chapter isolates exceptions and irregulars to these rules, to prevent them from confusing the learner, and thus quarantining them where they can be learned fully before moving on.
Finally, there are good exercises, especially translation exercises where the reader has to translate blocks of text c.250 words. In short, this book is a must and it will be appropriate for all levels, from people who want to pass a GCSE to people who want a career as a Spanish teacher. The book also is nicely organised, with each tense neatly separated and organised into separate chapters, as opposed to some books which attempt to teach too much at once. I would strongly recommend this book, and its price is extraordinarily low and fair considering the vast pay off in terms of skills it gives you. In short, a must have!
Excellent! January 12, 2006

This is a workbook with which you can master the spanish verbs which are the 'skeleton' of the language. I worked through it having never done any spanish. It is clear and concise and also quite entertaining. So much better to do on the train than a crossword or sudoku! The language is broken down and carefully explained. I also recommend her book of pronouns and preposistions (the red one). I think they'd work well used together actually.

This is a fantastic book and I would recommend it to anyone learning Spanish!The explanations of how the different tenses are used and formed are easy to follow. It has excellent practice sections which guide you at an easy pace through each tense so that you quickly gain confidence. I am currently studying for the GCSE and feel that through this book I have a huge advantage over anybody who has not read it!
