Spanish Verbs

writing is too small to read and learn

I am a Spanish major in university and this is a book that I always carry with me and I always recommend to those I tutor. It gives the subjunctive forms as well as all the tenses, including participles.

This is a great book, but essentially duplicates 501 Verbs. 501 Verbs is a much larger book, so if you're looking for a small, pocket-sized reference, this one will work. If you already have 501 Verbs you'll probably do what I did and return Spanish Verbs. Both versions have a good explanation of verb tenses.

My pocket dictionary by Langenscheidts, which I give 5 stars to also, has some verbs in tables which is handy. But I wanted to have a small, but fairly comprehensive pocket verb book. It turns out this is better than I could have ever imagined. In the front it shows the tenses and how, when, and why to use them. (It's the same as 501 Spanish Verbs.) What's even better is in the back it has an alphabetical listing in English of all the verbs in the book. If you need to know a verb, you can certainly find it in your pocket dictionary, but seeing it conjugated is extremely helpful whether you're a beginner or someone in an intermediate or advanced level. Most verb conjugations are easy to remember, but if you forget, you can look in this book which is so light and compact, it's incredibly easy to carry. You can't go wrong with this book even if it's the book you'd rather have than 501 Spanish Verbs.

I am learning Spanish and this book helps me a lot when I want to learn, speak, write, or translate anything from English to Spanish or Spanish to English. This is perfect for anyone who wants to learn Spanish no matter what level you are at. I have learned so much from this book. There is one verb on each page with all the verb conjugations for all tenses and all persons (I, you, he, she, it, we, they, etc.). It is very clear. At the bottom of the page, there is a small collumn that has words and expressions related to the verb you are looking at. In the back, it has a small dictionary to look up the verb in English so you can find it in the book. Then, it has a small section for verbs that are not included in the book; it gives you the page number to a verb that conjugations the same way as the verb you are looking up, so even if the verb is not in the book, it gives an example of how to conjugate it. It also has a small section of alphebatically ordered tenses of irregular verbs and it gives you the page number of the verb that it comes from. Some verbs you can not immediatley tell what the infinnitive is, so this helps a lot. At the beggining of the book there is an intro explaining each verb tense and how to use it and examples so, even if you have never been taught any type of Spanish verbs, this explains it to you. Also, this a good size to carry with you. If you are learning Spanish, Get this!!!!! Wonderful!!

I strongly recommend this book to anyone learning how to speak and conjugate Spanish verbs. In the first pages of the book, it explains how to form the participles and the tenses of verbs. It also tells what the different tenses are used for and their English equivalent. In the middle, the 300 verbs are spelled out and how to conjugate them in all 14 tenses. The book is printed in 2 colors for easy reference. The only bad thing is that for some people (I didn't have this problem), the print may be too small. But this is due to its convienent pocket size. Overall, I highly recommend this book.
