Using Spanish : a guide to contemporary usage

"This is a guide to Spanish usage for those who have already acquired the basics of the language and wish to extend their knowledge. Unlike conventional grammars, it gives special attention to those areas of vocabulary and grammar which cause most difficulty to English speakers. It takes full account of the differences between European and Latin American Spanish, as well as focusing on questions of style and register which are all too often ignored. Clear, readable, and easy to consult, it guides the user through the richness and diversity of this increasingly important world language"--Publisher
