Collins Gem Spanish Grammar

Extraordinarily handy little booklet. While in the beginning-intermediate stages of learning Spanish, I carried it in my breastpocket at all times. At the start, I went through the discussion and examples--that's the best part of the book, the to-the-point examples--not really understanding everything, but getting a good overview. As I worked through other sources and got better, the book became indispensable for its clear treatment of, first, the basic grammatical structure, and, second, irregularities and idioms that commonly arise.If you're serious about learning Spanish, this book will make the experience much more productive and quick. If you already know some, you can go from "understandable" to "correct and almost fluent" by reviewing with this book.Really, a must-have.
