Synopsis

Using extensive examples from modern spoken and written Spanish, this outstanding reference is the most accurate and up-to-date basic grammar dictionary of its kind. This handy guide is based on international Spanish, avoiding the problem of standardization which uniquely affects the Spanish language--a language spoken in twenty different countries. Attractive and easy-to-use, this dictionary contains explanations of current usage (including coverage of Latin American Spanish) with hundreds of helpful examples taken from everyday speech, newspapers, and magazines. Short, simple, and easy to follow, Oxford Minireference Spanish Grammar also includes sections on translation problems and pronunciation traps, in-depth verb tables and a list of irregular verbs, a complete glossary of grammatical terms, special sections on prepositions and their use, and an easy-to-use index for swift reference. From the student to the business person to travelers brushing up on their Spanish for a coming trip abroad, this is an essential reference for anyone hoping to perfect their language skills.
