Product Description
Review
...focuses on those aspects of French grammar known to cause difficulties for English-speaking learners of French. It uses an up-to-date approach with modern terminology, but takes care to ensure that all terms and ideas are clearly explained. Students and teachers alike will find that it does an excellent job. (Professor R. A. Lodge, University of St. Andrews, )
This book is a major contribution to reference works on French grammar. (Francophonie )

'What I particularly like about this book is the fact that its explanations are rooted in current research on spoken and written French discourse. In addition, it provides students with a variety of tools that they can use to make different types of analogies and generalizations; the acquisition of such tools allows them to continue the acquisition process well beyond any course.'

Brilliant: Thorough, well structured, clear and readable.,
By Malcomtent (London UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: French Grammar and Usage (Paperback)
As an intermediate French student I have found this book to be invaluable as a reference.Although I don't think it is meant to be used as a main textbook I find it possible to read it as such. I have never looked for something and not found it and the examples are well laid out and pretty exhaustive. In short I have never been happier with any language purchase.

Fantastic,
By evicka "swissmrs" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: French Grammar and Usage (Paperback)
I'm a final year French Studies student and I love this book! At this stage everyone expects you to know all of the rules and this book has been a great help to me. I would say it is a book for the more advanced student, intermediate and above. For complete beginners I would recommend the BBC French grammer book, which I own as well and they are both brilliant.

This review is from: French Grammar and Usage (HRG) (Paperback)
If you are serious about learning French, mastering idioms and understanding minor nuances of grammar, such that when you speak with a native speaker you are not leaving yourself open to being corrected every two minutes, then you should have a copy of French Grammar and Usage. This is the bible of French grammar; as a professional translator working from English into French, I have used it every day to check prepositions for verbs, negation, subordinating conjunctions, PDO agreement... the list goes on! A superbly thorough reference guide to the language, I can't recommend this enough. I understand I might be a slightly indulgent grammar nerd, but if anything has made me this way, it's my good friend FGU! Your understanding of English grammar won't suffer either.
