Summary: The absolute best!
Review: This book and the other Practice-Makes-Perfect workbook by Dorothy Richmond ("Spanish Verb Tenses") are the best Spanish books I've ever used. I just got back from 2 years in the Peace Corps in Honduras and I studied these books every day. They REALLY helped me learn more Spanish! In addition to the concise, easy-to-understand instruction sections, there's tons of exercises to do (with the correct answers in the back of the book) and as I did the exercises, I picked up all kinds of things that I'd been wondering how to say. I also liked this workbook a lot because it covered all those difficult things I never understood before, like how to use "lo que..", direct and indirect object pronouns, the passive voice, the difference between "para" and "por", and many other things. (This book is especially great if you already know some Spanish because you need some vocabulary to do the exercises, unless you don't mind looking up lots of words in the dictionary.) I highly recommend this book!

Summary: It's actually fun!
Review: This book belongs right next to DD Richmond's "Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses." It has the same logical layout and format as "Verb Tenses," presenting a lesson and giving plenty of practice exercises that can be written in the book. DD Richmond maintains her sense of humor, making a seemingly dull subject interesting and fun. Essential learning tool. Bargain priced.

Summary: What an excellent resource
Review: This book is an excellent complement to Richmond's Spanish Verb Tenses, which my colleagues and I have used for more than a year. As the verb tense book does, the pronoun and preposition reference provides clear, unique explanations comprehensible to both teachers and students.

Summary: Te leo? A very good book for I.D.O's and D.O.'s ++++++
Review: This is a wonderful book for anyone sitting in a second year Spanish class struggling with grammar. My Spanish book in school doesn't have enough practice exercises. I have a test next week on indirect objects and direct objects. This book has so many practice exercises on that subject along, I don't even need them all. It offers lots of space in the book for writing answers which you can check in the back of the book. The explanations which teach you to use the grammar are very precise and simple so that it is good to listen in class, and then to refer to the book also for better, slower understanding.

Summary: A "MUST" FOR STUDENTS, TEACHERS, AND PROFESSORS
Review: This is the BEST book on Spanish pronouns and prepositions avalible. Teachers will find it to be a great teaching aid for any level of class they teach (whether it be a first-year Spanish class, or advanced college-level class). Beginning and advanced students will find the explanations to be very clear and concise. The exercises allow students to to check their work with accuracy. College professors will even find this book to be a reliable reference.

Summary: Simply A Superb Workbook!!! Better than all the rest!!
Review: This review is going to be really simple. I completed the Spanish course at the State Department's Foreign Service Institute. But I couldn't have done it without this book.It is hands-down the best one on the market for Spanish Pronouns and Prepositions. And WHAT A VALUE!!! What's best? The authors leave enough space to write in the book. And at this price, you will want to write all over it. I have had less luck with workbooks that ask for a paragraph, but make you enter it in your own notebook. Also there is a good glossary at the end of the book so you can easily look up unknown words without having to lug your dictionary around. I can't say enough good. Buy it.

Summary: A great reference book with useful exercises
Review: This workbook masters two important grammatical concepts that present difficulty for Spanish students. Thanks to the clarity and thoroughness of the text-workbook, students and those looking to perfectionize specific weaknesses in their understanding of pronouns and prepositions will immediately recognize that this book is an excellent resource. It is well organized, first tackling pronouns of all categories then prepositions with a strong emphasis on "por" and "para". Each chapter offers a clear explanation of the topic at hand, followed by a wide variety of examples of its usage, ample practice exercises and a practical translation at the end of every chapter. Once having completed the exercises, there is an answer key at the back of the book which is extremely beneficial in that the student can readily identify his/her strengths and weaknesses. As a Spanish teacher, I found this text and the exercises to be a useful supplemenatary study aid that enables Spanish students at all levels to fortify their knowledge and understanding of the grammatical topics covered in the book. This workbook can also be an eternal reference. This is definitely a worthy purchase and very economical considering the wealth of information that is offered. A strong recommendation is given, this a great grammar resource.
