Spanish Verbs Made Easy Workbook

I received an advance copy of this book and then purchased a copy of the final product. It is well worth it! It only deals with the present tense (one of the 16 conjugated and three unconjugated Spanish tenses). This is perhaps its greatest weakness but also its greatest strength. It covers the present tense fully and completely, dealing with the standard spelling changes that occur in the present tense, modal verbs, reflexive verbs, and idioms, giving one a good basis from which to go on to the other tenses (perhaps in a forthcoming book), The explanations are precise and clear. The exercises illustrating each point are well thought out and make it easy to see if one has understood the lesson. A wide range of verbs are introduced along with ancillary vocabulary and some ancillary grammar. If there is any failing at all, it is only that Spanish verbs should probably always be listed (and learned) with their prepositions. Sometimes a change in preposition can even change the meaning/use of a verb. (The prepositions are there in the workbook sentences but it is somewhat surprising they are not given in the verb listings considering how extremely well laid out and clear everything else is). If I were teaching a course in Spanish or if one is attempting to learn Spanish on his/her own, this would be an excellent workbook to use to teach the present tense and meaning of a lot of verbs while introducing some of the complexities created by Spanish reflexive verbs and subtle differences in the use and meaning of modal verbs and transitive and intransitive verbs between Spanish and English.

I wanted this in order to review simple statements/phrases. Perfect for my purpose.

This book is what i was looking for. I need some very specific verb focus because that is the area i struggle in the most. I wanted to work on verbs and nothing else for a while. This book does that. However, if you haven’t already been studying spanish so you know some of the grammatical rules like for making things plural etc. This book would be difficult and frustrating because it has you do more than just conjugate verbs but doesnt explain much more than verbs.

I give this workbook a 5/5 for basic Spanish. It has practice pages and examples in context. As a teacher, I know this is a great way to learn and retain information. I would recommend practicing saying things aloud as you write it, making flash cards to review, and supplementing this workbook with basics words in Spanish to review. This book is definitely for someone who already knows a basic amount of Spanish in terms of sentence structure, masculine/feminine, and vocabulary in Spanish. That being said, it is perfect for practice and easy to follow along with. I included pictures of the topics converted in this workbook!

Learning Spanish is such an overwhelming, complex task that any guidance that clarifies andsimplifies the task is a must for learners.
