Useful Materials for Learning Spanish Grammar

 

The aim of this selection of Spanish examples, which consists of proverbs, popular rhymes, excerpts from plays, etc., is to provide extra support for book courses. The main consideration in making this selection is to consolidate the grammar within a cultural context; therefore, all the examples are arranged into chosen grammatical points. It is hoped that the students will enjoy learning and recognising the grammatical difficulties. The selection is intended to be used for independent study. I would like to thank my colleagues Mr. Anthony Tarrant and Mrs. Teresa Mackinnon for their invaluable advice and help in completing this project.
