Excerpt from An Elementary Spanish Grammar The author of this grammar has endeavoured to follow the recommendations made by the Joint Committee on Grammatical Terminology so far as those recommendations are applicable to the structure of the Spanish language. The scheme put forward by the Joint Committee does not specially envisage the terminology of Spanish grammar. The Spanish conjugation has important peculiarities which, perhaps, call for the adoption of a special nomenclature for certain tenses of the subjunctive mood (and even of the indicative). Yet, as the anarchy in Spanish is, in this respect, even greater than in English or French, the author has deemed it advisable to adopt the recommendations of the Joint Committee for the sake of uniformity and simplicity. Though not beyond criticism, they tend on the whole to diminish the confusion wrought in the minds of all students by the lack of a uniform terminology. In spite of the fact that the use of the term Direct Object is not recommended by the Joint Committee, the author has found himself compelled to employ it in order to avoid misunderstanding: this misunderstanding might arise from the fact that the term Indirect Object is included among the recommendations, and is used in the present work. The term Future in the Past has been adopted for uniformity's sake. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
