Updates to Spanish grammar section

Firstly, a few of the Spanish grammar section of the Español-Inglés web site have been updated. Principal updates include:

• expansion of the section on the imperfect tense, with on-line imperfect tense exercises and information on when to use the imperfect tense including when to use the simple vs continuous forms of this tense;
• a section on the future tense, again with simple future tense exercises to do on-line;
• a section on the Spanish conditional tense with on-line exercises to allow you to practise conditional verb forms;
• more information on when to use continuous verb forms in Spanish (and when not to use them!).

Another section of the Spanish Grammar section which is currently being extended is the material on the Spanish subjunctive. Several new pages are already available summarising and exemplifying the main uses of the subjunctive, with more on the way soon. Watch this space...
