Selected tenses and modes of Spanish

Spanish is generally considered an easy language to learn. However, those who study it soon realize that the correct application of past tenses, the transformation into indirect speech, and the subjunctive mood pose particular challenges. In the text-based fill-in exercises for the Indefinido and Imperfecto tenses, the narrative perspective, the logic of text structure, and the cross-sentence context are utilized for the correct tense selection. This workbook provides students with a fundamental introduction to the Spanish tense system and its differences from German, reinforcing the use of the selected tenses and moods through sentence- and text-based exercises.
