Synopsis

Pracitising Spanish Grammar offers a comprehensive set of varied exercises for developing a greater practical awareness of the language. It is designed as a companion volume to the widely acclaimed A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish by John Butt and Carmen Benjamin, but it can also be used on its own by anyone wishing to improve their proficiency in Spanish. Giving attention to both Peninsular and Latin American varieties of the language, the workbook includes examples of authentic Spanish from journalistic and literary extracts, and from colloquial usage. The exercises are graded in terms of difficulty as follows:
Level 1 - basic drill for revision of essential points
Level 2 - intermediate exercises covering standard usage
Level 3 - advanced assignments and work on non-standard usage
A key to the exercises is provided making this workbook as suitable for private study as for classroom use.
