Good Book for Learning Spanish Grammar

This is a hands-on book. It explains a point of grammar then provides an exercise that makes you put to work what you've just read by writing down answers. I took two years of Spanish in College, but then forgot about it for about 30 years, but now I'm going back and trying to review and remember all I once knew. This is an excellent book for doing that. However, the book presumes that one has a basic Spanish vocabulary. This is a grammar book, not a vocabulary building book. It does have a Spanish/English dictionary in the back. This book in combination with a book to expand one's Spanish vocabulary would be ideal.

There is an answer key!

I was surprised to read tonight, 9-9-02, that two past reviewers were irritated because they thought that there was no answer key to Spanish Grammar in Review. There is an answer key. The ISBN # is 0844276723. The publisher is McGraw-Hill Companies. The decision not to include the answers with the text was an editorial choice--many teachers do not like for their students to have the answers to the exercises while they are doing their homework. However, for learners working alone an answer key obviously would be quite helpful.Spanish Grammar in Review contains a well-organized, easily-comprehended review of the basic elements of Spanish grammar plus a carefully selected series of increasingly difficult practice exercises to verify comprehension and to increase retention of the material.As a note of explanation of the 4 star rating of my own book, the computer program would not accept my explanation without a rating, so I gave the book 4 stars. I know that students have, can, and will in the future learn a lot with it.
