Spanish Verb Drills is designed to help learners develop mastery of the Spanish verb system. Created to supplement the oral and written verb practice offered by standard Spanish-language textbooks, it provides students at all levis with the drill and review needed to grasp the tenses and conjugations of Spanish verbs. Models at the beginning of each unit establish the patterns to be reinforced in the Para practicar drills, the Aplicacin exercises, and the Mastery Tests. In addition, the four-part Repaso general allows students to test themselves for overall control of the Spanish verb system. Combining the features of a workbook, textbook, and self-study manual, Spanish Verb Drills clearly and systematically explains the workings of the Spanish verb system, while providing numerous and varied exercises for thorough practice of each point covered.

This latest edition has been enhanced by more detailed coverage of the imperative. It is also supported by the McGraw-Hill Education Language Lab app, which contains flashcards for all verbs lists in the book and additional quizzes for study on-the-go. Covering verb tenses ranging from the present indicative to the imperfect subjunctive and offering detailed treatment of stem-changing verbs, orthographic-changing verbs, and irregular verbs, Spanish Verb Drills will serve as an invaluable study aid to all those wishing to perfect their knowledge of Spanish verbs. Equally suitable in a Spanish-language course or for self-study, this book effectively clarifies the complexities of this crucial area of Spanish-language study.

Spanish verbs are classified into three classes, or conjugations , according to the final letters of their infinitives. 1. 1.

Spanish has no equivalent for the English am (is, are) or do (does) in the present tense. The single verb hablo means I am speaking , I do speak , or I speak. 2. The pronoun subject of the Spanish verb is expressed by the ending of the verb. The verb must show this personal ending, even if a subject pronoun or noun is already present in the sentence. The subject pronouns (yo , etc.) are seldom used in actual practice, except for Ud . and Uds .

Remember that there are two singular and two plural forms of the second person (you), for informal and formal use. The t and vosotros forms of the verb may not be used with the subjects Ud . and Uds ., or vice versa. 3. The Spanish word si , translated as if , indicates that what follows is probably true or will probably happen, and is followed by a present tense verb. If Jorge eats meat, si Jorge come carne, If Jorge doesnt eat meat, si Jorge no come carne, If Susana arrives on time, si Susana llega a tiempo, If Susana doesnt arrive on time, si Susana no llega a tiempo,Negative : All Spanish verbs form the negative by placing no before the verb.

He eats come ; he does not eat no come . Interrogative : All Spanish verbs in the interrogative are identical to the affirmative. He eats come ; does he eat? come ? Spanish verbs in the negative-interrogative are identical to the negative. He does not eat no come ; doesnt he eat? no come ?
