Customer Reviews

Love it!

This book is great! It has 18 sections covering all the tenses, including stem-changing verbs, orthographic changes, and irregular verbs. Each section has an easy-to-understand explanation of how the tense is used and how they are formed, a few pages of practice exercises, and a mastery test at the end. There is an answer key and an index of the infinitives in the back of the book. I highly recommend it for anyone who has trouble remember verb endings, which is probably everyone. :) Perfect practice makes perfect!

Spanish Verb Workbook Makes Conjugating Easier

If you are a person in need of more practice with Spanish verb conjugating, "Spanish Verb Drills" by Vivienne Bey is a great reference book to have around. Providing many exercises such as verb drills and fill-in-the-blanks, this book will assist students and anyone else trying to brush up on their conjugating skills real fast and easier. The book provides an inexpensive method to improve your verb conjugating skills. Besides this book, I also recommend "501 Spanish Verbs" as another book one should own if they want to master Spanish verb conjugations. Both books should make you a pro within a short period of time.

nothing will help you memorize the conjugations better

In my Spanish language studies I had tried out dozens of books, cards and tapes. Even though I had read through the verb conjugations in books several times it still seemed as though I was making terribly slow progress. This book definitely helped me to reach a new plateau. There simply is nothing that will help you to memorize the conjugations better than writing them out. This book is arranged so that once you have a verb form under your belt, you then learn a new one and keep reviewing the ones that you have already done. In this way, when you have finished even half of the book you are already quite confident in your knowledge of the conjugations. By writing out the verb forms for even a portion of the book you will have the skills necessary to produce your own conversation and gain fluency, which is your main goal at this point. If you are trying to re-learn Spanish after a long break in studying, this book will be of immense value. Put this seemingly simple book at the top of your list for Spanish educational materials.

Good book for a beginning Spanish student

As a beginning Spanish student, I started learning vocaulary and grammer rules, but did not seem to progress much in understanding the language. Once I started learning these verb forms, I greatly accelorated my understanding of written and spoken Spanish. I recommend the book highly.
