This book fills the gap left by Spanish-English dictionaries, Spanish verb books, and translation web sites. It lists more than 100,000 conjugations of Spanish verbs, and shows for each the infinitive, the subject, and the tense and/or mood as appropriate.
There are several scenarios in which this book is needed:
1. Many verb conjugations have another meaning as some other part of speech, such as
vino
,
estado
tienda
traje
una
helado
pueblo
, and
vestido
, and are defined in most dictionaries and translation web sites as such. The reader can look up
and
in this book and find these entries:
tender
(Ud.) imperative; yo/Ud. pres. subj.
poblar
yo pres. ind.
2. A word may be a conjugation of a common verb and also of an uncommon one, for example
asiste
. The reader might recognize the word as a conjugation of
asistir
, and as meaning "she attends." But the word is also a conjugation of the verb
asir
, to grasp, and means "you grasped." The reader might not even know of the verb
. The listing for

Ud. pres. ind.; (tú) imperative

. This could be a conjugation of
sentir
or
sentar
, but which ones? The reader does not know

or this
