Written for intermediate students taking Spanish on a high school or college level, this book can be used in the classroom as a main text or as a textbook supplement. It covers every aspect of Spanish grammar and correct usage, beginning with verbs and analyzing verb tenses, the passive voice, reflexive verbs, verb formations in the subjunctive mood, imperative command verb forms, and uses of verb infinitives. Major topics that follow cover nouns, modifiers, and the other parts of speech, interrogative forms, words that express negation, feminine forms, demonstratives and possessives, pronouns, diminutive and augmentative word formations, and more. Contemporary idioms are interspersed throughout the text, and the book's many exercises give students plenty of solid practice. Cartoon illustrations throughout the book help to demonstrate points of Spanish grammar.
I have spent years at learning Spanish, and was looking for the best and easiest book out there that covered "everything there is to know" about Spanish grammar. I was fed up with hauling around several books at once, and didn't want to battle through long exercises and worthless dialogs. I JUST WANTED TO REVIEW my grammar from time to time. The author is obviously a second language learner because he presents each grammatical feature in a way that makes it clear and simple to understand. Don't waste your time with the others. I probably own them. Trust me -- this book should be a text in Spanish classrooms everywhere!
