Excellent book

This book fulfills its purpose as a comprehensive practice manual on Spanish verbs. It can be useful for those who are just learning Spanish or for those with a basic knowledge who wish to reinforce or practice what they already know. The concepts are explained clearly. Tips and usage points are highlighted in the explanation areas. Every chapter includes exercises and basic translations or crucigramas (cross word puzzles) with answers at the back of the book.

Great for intermediate learners!

I have studied Spanish in high school, college and even spent a semester in Puerto Rico, but three years later I found that I was losing my Spanish quickly, and this book has helped to re-familiarize me with topics ranging from the basics (which needed repeating) all the way to the more advanced verb conjugations. I would highly recommend this book to intermediate learners like me, but I think if I was learning Spanish for the first time, it would be WAY over my head, so its not that great for beginners. But overall, a big help in helping me maintain and expand my Spanish knowledge.

great help

This book is a great help for those of us who are language challenged. I went from being a very inexperienced spanish speaker to someone who can read and understand spanish text. As I learn more, I am getting a bit more willing to speak to native speakers and feel I am on my way to my goal of becoming bilingual. Great resource!

Excellent for Intermediate Review

This workbook is excellent for the student of Spanish at an intermediate level that needs a review and some practice with the more difficult parts of spanish grammar. This book was very helpful to me.

Spanish Verb Workbook

This book is extremely helpful for students learning Spanish because they are not just learning the verbs by memorizing them, they are doing exercises and it gives them the ending formula.
