Book on Spanish verbs

Gosh what a boring title. Anyway I have finally bought "Spanish Verb Tenses" by Dorothy Devney Richmond Published by Passport Books.

It was recommended on the web and is exclellent. My spanish is now quite good but I am let down by the verbs, it is so much easier to learn words. The crunch came when a pretty Cuban said that my Spanish would be very good if only I knew the verbs. This book is very readable and good fun, for a grammar book.

I note that the last time I posted about a book, I only got one post and that was to give the correct title!

excellent book I agree, this is a really good book. You should also get the book on Spanish Pronouns And Prepositions. By the same author. Also excellent, especially the explanations on direct and indirect objects
For example, a expression like

"Traemelo" which means "bring it to me"
is actually three words:

Trae =bring, me = me
lo = it
