Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses, Premium Fifth Edition

This workbook is an excellent resource for mastering Spanish verb tenses. One of its standout features is the companion app, which offers flashcards, quizzes, and interactive practice—perfect for reinforcing concepts beyond the written exercises. The book itself is well-structured, with clear explanations and plenty of practice questions. Another helpful aspect is the answer key in the back, which makes self-checking easy. However, it’s important to ensure students use it responsibly and don’t rely on it too heavily instead of working through the exercises. Overall, this combination of a comprehensive workbook and a dynamic app makes it one of the best tools for learners aiming to strengthen their Spanish grammar skills.

This is a first quality Spanish verb book. Each chapter covers a different tense of the verbs, explains how they're formed, any irregular ones, and is filled with exercises that let a person get plenty of practice. One added plus is the answers to the exercises are in the back of the book. This allows the student to check immediately to make sure that they've grasped the concept correctly. Since the book has no audio, one can easily log into SpanishDict online to listen to the verb's pronunciation. It's just my preference, but I do the exercises in a separate notebook as I never seem to have enough space. Also, it keeps the book clean so you can use it for many years. If a student were to do all the exercises in this book, they should have a good understanding of verbs. One more added feature. It has in the back a Spanish/English and an English/Spanish dictionary so that's helpful.

I have used almost every edition of this workbook with my Spanish students. It has great exercises including paragraphs for practice. I recommend for good repetition with conjugation and verb vocabulary.

Trying to learn Spanish on an certain app was difficult. Rules weren’t spelled out on the most part. I struggled and wasted much time trying to understand verb tenses and rules that weren’t clear or explained . Finally bought this book! Clear, straight forward, practice pages. What a difference in learning.

This volume takes the place of multiple other Spanish primers. It is written in a familiar form, often joking, where she actually sympathizes with us because .... Spanish verbs are complex, organized, and contain the meat of the sentence. She guides you through each tense. Spanish verbs are the foundation and the construction of the sentence, like the building of a house, additional vocabulary is like the siding, trim, and paint. I did buy her vocabulary book too, for that. This book is not easy, though, and it may take you a year to master it, but it's a fun year.

his is an excellent workbook for anyone trying to learn Spanish verb conjugations, which are absolutely critical to the language. As a long-time student of Spanish, I found this book to be a highly effective and necessary resource. The explanations are clear, and the exercises provide the rigorous practice needed to achieve proficiency. This book has been a valuable addition to my language learning journey, and I would highly recommend it to anyone serious about learning to read and speak Spanish. My only point of criticism, which seems to be echoed by other reviewers, is the paper quality. The pages feel like acid-free newsprint, which makes me concerned about how well the book will hold up over time. It's a shame to see such high-quality content printed on what seems to be a lower-grade paper. Despite this concern, the educational value of this book is undeniable, and it's a tool I will continue to use.

This is great exercise for learning Spanish verbs. Reinforces what you're learning about conjugating verbs. I agree with another reviewer that the True and False exercises are useless, but overall I'm very happy with my purchase.

Perfect workbook to help you practice your spanish verb tenses! I love the different types of exercises that it provides in the workbook!

Muy bien

useful book however i think it has the same issue as the "Spanish Pronouns and Prepositions" book which i ordered together. the paper quality is not good, you can't use highlighter on it because it will seep through the pages, additionally for this book, if you are using pencil and you tried to use an eraser for erase your mistakes, the printing will fade plus it looks like it will tear a hole in the paper if you erase many times.

Este libro está bien estructurado, ya que cada lección se basa en la anterior.

Very well set out book and easy to use. Good for beginners and as a refresher for people with some knowledge of Spanish.

Very comprehensive tool for learning the most important tenses. Great theory and plenty of exercises. I highly recommend.
