The Structures section provides practical exercises on the basic grammar of Spanish, and it will be a good idea to work from this section if you can identify specific points on which you need practice (e.g. the subjunctive, agreements, use of verb forms, etc.). You will find some self-evaluation pages to help you to do this. The Functions section is organized according to language use in particular situations. Here you can practise not only the associated grammatical structures, but also set phrases and ways of doing things, such as apologizing, describing a person, asking the way, and so on. The two sections inevitably overlap to a certain extent, although the nature of the exercises in the two parts is generally different. You will find cross-references between exercises which deal with similar points or similar uses of language. The Workbook contains exercises at all levels and aims to be comprehensive in its coverage of the basic structures of the language. A full key is provided at the end of the book. The Workbook has been designed to be used independently or as a complement to Modern Spanish Grammar and full cross-referencing to the Grammar is provided at the end of the book. You should consult the Grammar for the elucidation of any difficulties you encounter in working through the exercises: in this way the Workbook can be used successfully for private study as well as being a convenient resource for taught courses. Exercises have been graded on a 3-point scale as follows: (cid:1) easy exercises with basic vocabulary which require little or no manipulation (cid:1)(cid:1) slightly more difficult exercises which may contain more complex vocabulary and/or require some degree of manipulation (cid:1)(cid:1)(cid:1) more complex exercises using wider vocabulary and requiring grammatical manipulation. 1
