Good exercise book after you've grasped the fundamentals of how spanish grammar works.

Not many exercises for each tense and it uses only a few verbs.

Also, don't count on this book's examples and explanations to teach you anything beyond the basic rule for each tense.

This review comes from a beginner.
This was an informative book. But when it came to the "workbook" sections, the sentences should have had more simple basic words. Then, the learner could focus on the challenge at hand and not have to look up some of the harder words that weren't necessary.

Very helpful! Explained everything really clearly and even had me chuckling from time to time. Kept learning fun from start to end.
