'A New Reference Grammar of Modern Spanish' is widely recognised as the standard English-language reference grammar of Spanish. It provides teachers, students and other users of Spanish with a comprehensive, accessible and jargon-free guide to the forms and structures of the Spanish currently spoken and written in Spain and Latin America.



This new edition has been updated throughout, with new material on points of particular interest to English-speaking learners. A host of new examples has been introduced, drawing on contemporary Spanish, and where possible contrasting Peninsular with Latin American usage. The most common levels of usage (formal, colloquial, familiar and popular) are distinguished, and special attention has been given to student needs, with extended explanations of difficult grammatical points.
