Reviews / Votes
'Exacto is a grammar book with a difference. There are conventional features such as verb tables that one would expect in any grammar, but there are also significant differences derived from the pedagogical approaches pioneered by the distance-teaching Open University in the United Kingdom that make this grammar book stand out from its rivals...I can recommend this book - and I have now ordered it, as I want it to have a permanent place on my bookshelves. No doubt I will be turning to it again and again as I write more and more in Spanish'Greville Rumble, Professor of Distance Education Management

This book is very good. The grammatical explanations which incorporate important points and sections about Latin-American Spanish, are very clear and attractive.
