A very comprehensive set of sentences to translate from Spanish into English. The full resource is 29 pages long (including title and content pages) and it covers all three themes of the new Spanish GCSE course. Each theme and each topic is covered in detail with a series of sentences of different level of difficulty, and they provide a good coverage of all aspects of GCSE grammar, with references to a variety of tenses (present, preterite, imperfect, present perfect, conditional, future), and a wide range of complex structures (negatives, comparatives, conditional clauses…). While I believe that the resource can be used with students of all abilities, it is aimed mainly at foundation students.
