Easy Spanish and Bilingual Books
I have been putting together some easy Spanish or Spanish/English books to help my students grasp some of the grammar concepts that I have been teaching them - such as the preterite versus the imperfect, using ser and estar, the present progressive tense etc etc.
If anyone would find them a useful resource they are free to read and as far as I know you don't even need to sign up on the site to access them.
Because they use a language other than English I am unable to make my page public so I will have to add a separate link to each book.
Here's a few to try out but if they are useful let me know and as I have time I'll add the other 7 that i have, and then any new ones as I make them.:
¿Cómo soy? (Describe yourself using ser, tener & different adjectives)
Pret vs Imp (spanish)
Pret vs Imp (bilingual)
4 Stem changing verbs (present tense Spanish)
I really must give a mention to Gregorio Melean who has kindly proof read a number of these books for me, his input is always much appreciated.
Also if anyone is struggling with a particular grammar point and would like a book using that gives examples to help them become familiar with its use, please let me know and I'll see what I can do,
Kind regards KG
Ps I may post new book links below to bump the thread and let people know that there's a new book so remember to cluck 'newest' if the thread pops up again.

Thanks Kiwi! One of the books has the sentence: Tengo el pelo liso y hasta los hombres. How does that translate? I have straight hair and ??? until the men? Maybe it is too early in the morning but I can not get this simple sentence. Thanks for the help amiga!

THE PRESENT TENSE
If you're learning how to conjugate regular Spanish verbs in the present tense then I hope that this book will help.
It was a lot of info to pack into one little book so please let me know how you find it and feel free to leave any constructive criticism or suggestions that will help me improve my books.
