Practice Makes Perfect:Spanish Pronouns and Prepositions, by Dorothy Richmond, is on my desk where I can pick it up for a few minutes now and then.

I also have the same author’s book on Spanish verbs and study it quite often, though I couldn’t say I manage to do it every day.

I got this book because I noticed that I bog down on sentences like “They gave him the book and he gave her a box of candy and him a pen.” Luckily, I’ve never had to say exactly that, but you get the idea.

And I’m still not always sure when to use para and when to use por. Thought I had it, till I got to Mexico and started hearing how the Mexicans use them.
