If you don't understand the verbs, you can miss the whole point of what is being said. But since they can be very different in how they are formed versus English verbs, I find making sense of them and how and when to use them correctly, somewhat challenging. To try and unravel the puzzle of Spanish verbs, I have purchased many books on the subject. The structure of how some of them present the different moods and tenses was to me often not very clear and straight forward-and unfortunately I was almost as confused as I was after I read those books as I had been before I did. For me, this book does the very best job I have seen of presenting Spanish verbs in a logical way, that helps make sense of all verb forms. Unlike many books I have seen on Spanish verbs, it not only tells you the changes in each form, it explains why the changes are made, which really helps me because I need to see how each individual thing works with the whole in order for it to "click" in my mind. So although Spanish verbs still take a lot of effort to learn with this book (or any book or teaching course) I felt I at least understood the structure of using each verb tense and I no longer had that "deer in the headlights" feeling when I approached a verb I thought I knew but was made totally unrecognizable to me because of the changes to its stem. I buy a lot of things on desertcart, but seldom leave reviews, but this book was such a help to me in sorting out something that had continued to confuse me because of the way other authors and courses had approached the subject that just didn't make things clear to me; I thought I should pass my impressions on to others that might be experiencing the same confusion. I just wish this had been the first book on Spanish verbs I had bought because it would have saved me a lot of time and frustration. I will add that although most of the exercises in the book will work for you -no matter if you are a complete beginner in Spanish or are more advanced in studying the language- the Translation exercises (Traducción) will be difficult if you don't already have a decent Spanish foundation to work with. While it will certainly help a beginner learn the structure of Spanish verbs, it may also frustrate them in trying to do the exercises, as they may not have been able yet to grasp enough of the other aspects of Spanish to understand and complete all the exercises . If you keep that in mind, it will help you understand how Spanish verbs are used and how to learn them. But if you are someone that gets frustrated if you can't correctly answer every question-this book might not work for you. But if-like me- you have been studying Spanish long enough to have a decent vocabulary and structural foundation in Spanish, but still find verbs challenging, this will be a great help. Review: Accurate book title, but doesn't do it justice. Engaging and effective - The title of this book, tho accurate, doesn't do it justice. It is so much more than just verbs. I've done quite a bit of teaching, writing, editing, and instructional design. This book is very well done. The exercises are varied and effective. Take the time to actually DO them. Instead of writing in the book, I bought some notebooks and do the exercises there. I'm on my second pass through the first half of the book. You learn verb conjugation and build your vocabulary, and a bit of conversational skills, and of course reading comprehension and writing skills. Now add the Pimsleur approach and you get listening, speaking, conversational skills. It is a very good combination. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #250,903 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #50 in Spanish Language Instruction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 566 Reviews | ## Images ![ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717P7LTmzGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If Spanish verbs confuse you this book will really help *by K***. on October 31, 2021* To me verbs are the heart of learning Spanish.

Great vocabulary, conjugation lists, and written exercises to reinforce the rules (answers in the back of the book). Purchased to supplement a class but it is absolutely clear enough to use on its own. I will keep it on hand as a reference book always.
