Product Description
by Eloise Hollyfield Jurgens (Author)
Spanish Grammar for the Clueless is a guide to Spanish grammar for students learning Spanish at the beginning or intermediate level, and it is also for those studying Spanish independently. Understanding that many of those learning Spanish do not remember or were never taught English grammar, this book explains grammatical concepts in clear English so that they can then apply them to Spanish grammar. Each chapter deals with a series of grammatical topics (e.g., noun-adjective agreement). The topic is explained in English and then guides the student through the process of applying this knowledge to Spanish grammar. Following each section, students may test their understanding of the grammatical topic by taking a brief quiz and then checking their answers with the answer key provided. As a Spanish student or independent learner, if you have ever lamented, "But I don't even understand this stuff in English " then Spanish Grammar for the Clueless is for you
