Missing a few key points

I bought this book for an ESL class that I teach, and while I wouldn't normally depend on native language material to suppliment my course, sometimes students feel more comfortable learning in their native language. The book reviews complex verb structures and other difficult processes like phrasal verbs and relative pronouns, but it would be nice if it had a section on when to use articles or no article, and other seemingly basic, but hard to acquire structures.

Gramatica De La Lengua Inglesa : A Complete English Grammar Workbook for Spanish Speakers

Muy buen libro para todo lo concerniente a la gramática y sobre todo por su precio tan económico

Excellent and thorough, very good tool for ESL classes.

I bought this book for my class of Latin American students who were learning English as a second language. The grammar exercises in this book were well-written and accurate, and the organization of the material into short chapters makes it easy to teach this material in a classroom. This book was an excellent resource because it explains the concepts in Spanish, which makes the experience more familiar and less overwhelming for the students. A few words of advice - this material is somewhat advanced, so those who have never studied grammar formally (e.g., some of my students had quit school in their 8th grade) may struggle a little with some of the concepts (e.g., what is an adjective). Also, if you are an ESL teacher, you should also be able to read Spanish if you want to use this book, since it explains the concepts in Spanish. I enjoyed this book since it made teaching easy - I needed only about 15 min. of preparation time before each class when I was teaching one of these chapters. Finally, if you are teaching an ESL class, I recommend you use at least one additional book for the purpose of learning vocabulary and practicing pronunciation, since this book really only covers grammar.

Excellent

I am very pleased with my purchase. I am trying to learn english. And my professor encouraged me to buy this book. She is a very nice teacher although a little too funny at times, but aren't all language teachers that way. This book provides all the grammar rules I need to know to write good sentences and to read well and yes sometimes soon to speak well in sentences to. Thank you.
