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.

Este libro te ayuda a entender la gramatica del lenguaje Ingles y te ayuda a poder hablarlo y escribirlo mejor. Is one of the best tools anyone can have when learning to speak or better english skills.

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.

I find this book quite difficult for the spanish-speaking adult student who I am working with. Any spanish-speaking person would need a high level of education in his own language to comprehend the explanations and directions. My student is perhaps educated through grade school.
This would be a good book for someone who is advanced in the spanish language.

There are lines for answers, but they are close together, perhaps college-ruled or closer, so the handwriting would have to be fairly small.

A good point about this book is that the answers are in the back.
There are 127 pages of workbook pages, then there are two appendices and the answers, and one page of an index. Total pages: 143

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.

PARA CUALQUIER ESTUDIANTE.

I am buying ESL books to help my latino friends with their communication. My friends have had positive comments about how helpful this has been in teaching them proper english sentence structure.

I purchased this book to assist in tutoring English to native Spanish speaking children in the upper grades of grammar school. Expecting something similar to the wonderfully clear and well-organized workbooks I have used in learning Spanish, I was disappointed. This book is for those advanced in grammar and fairly advanced in English and looking to refine their English language skills. Each lesson is two pages, thus lacking in sufficient groundwork and exercises. Advanced grammar, such as past perfect, indirect objects and passive voice, are covered in the first few lessons. This is just not useful for my purposes.
