Side-By-Side Spanish and English Grammar, 3rd Edition

by Edith R. Farrell, C. Frederick Farrell

A simple approach for learning Spanish grammar by comparing it to your first language, English!

Side-by-Side Spanish and English Grammar present explanations of the essential elements of Spanish grammar alongside their English-language equivalents. This method allows you to build on what you already know; not only do you learn Spanish grammar but also enjoy the added benefit of strengthening your grammar skills in your native tongue!

Each lesson clearly explains functions and uses of the different parts of speech and includes abundant examples for each entry. Because the vocabulary is limited to frequently used words, you can concentrate more on a sentence's structure instead of becoming tangled in its meaning. A "Quick Check" section summarizes main ideas in each section and helps you retain the most important information. This third edition features a new exercise section to further reinforce what you have learned.

[Brian · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book is excellent where specific areas of grammar are concerned, but often refers the reader to another source for conjugations and other non-grammar specific topics. The book is useful as a student, but does not help when using a self-taught program like Rosetta Stone or Duolingo.
