Summary: Know Spanish Verbs Inside and Out!!!
Comment: This book on Spanish verb tenses is the best I've ever seen. In fact, it is probably the only book of its kind. I haven't seen any other books like this one, probably because it would be a waste of time for someone else to write a book like this.
The book first explains the present tense in great detail. It explains how the present tense is used in every possibleway. Although, it doesn't explain that the present tense is often used to convey a future action more often than the actual future is.
Richmond's explanation of the past tenses is also very good, but I didn't like how the imperfect and the preterit were explained. What I did like was how the author explains that the irregular preterit conjugations have predictable patterns.
The subjunctive is explained towards the end, which is one of the most difficult things to master in Spanish grammar. I didn't particularly care for the author's explanation of the subjunctive because it seems to be a "regurgitation" of how other books explain it.
All in all, this book is well worth its price. Every Spanish student (and teacher) should have a copy of "Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses."

Summary: This book is the best
Comment: I have read a few books on Spanish verb tenses and grammar, but this one has got to be the best of them all. If you read through this book step by step and do the written exercises as you proceed, you will understand verbs in no time at all.It is easy to follow and set out in a reader friendly way.

Summary: clear and practical help for the student of spanish
Comment: In support of the many enthusiastic reviews of this book, I must agree that this is one of the clearest and easiest to understand guides to spanish verbs avaialble. As a very keen student of spanish I have an extensive collection of relevant books, but the Practice Makes Perfect series are refreshingly easy and pleasant to use. The grammar is divided into distinct sections with plenty of explanations, examples and exercises for practice, as well as answers for checking. There are also exercises in the writing of short passages which incorporate the verb conjugations learnt and introduce much new and useful vocabulary. This is a very useful book, not only for learners who attend classes and who would like a little more clarification, but especially for those trying to teach themselves. The relatively large size of print and good layout also enhance the pleasure of using this book.

Summary: Use of words
Comment: I have just recieved this book and have found it to be very well thought out and easy to read and understand. My one comment is that the book is obviously written by an American in that there are quite a lot of words, both nouns and verbs, used in the book that are not, popularly used in Spain, where I live. (For example carro instead of coche for car. Quite a few of my spanish friends, some of whom are teachers of English, have mentioned this to me when looking at the book. However, I would recommend this book.

Summary: Great (Especially for GCSE's)
Comment: Well there comes a time where spanish tests linger in the air like a wave of grief but then there shines a hope... PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT guide. Currently i'm taking my GCSE's and within a few lessons we were bombarded with such complex knowledge that we were simply meant to grasp and take in immediately... However, as many may have found (especially in languages), that perhaps the teacher does not explain as well as it could. The answer to the problem? This book right here explains every tense from the present subjunctive to the perfect past in detail with exercises that are built to test understanding. The book itself is split into different section referring to the different tenses (e.g Unit one- preterite tense). The book also gives clear explanations of the different conjugations of regular (and irregular) verbs making the different tenses so much easier to decipher.
To add to the excellence, a must have glossary to get an A* is given at the back of the book with very helpful terms, verbs etc and also in the front aresomevery useful explanations that might just help bump up your grade and fill the holes that the teacher left out.
A truly outstanding guide that was worth every single penny.
