Description
The revised edition of 'Practising French Grammar' offers a set of varied and accessible exercises for developing a greater practical awareness of the language. It has been updated and is the ideal companion volume to the new edition of the widely acclaimed 'French Grammar and Usage' by Roger Hawkins and Richard Towell, but can be used by anyone wishing to improve their proficiency in French. The numbering and organisation has been amended to match that of the main grammar, and it features lively texts and activities, as well as jokes and cartoons, helping students to expand their vocabulary, and their ability to speak French. For use both in classwork and by independent learners, the 'Workbook' provides summaries of key grammatical points at the beginning of each exercise, as well as model answers to the exercises and translations of difficult words.
Reviews / Votes
...presents a remarkably varied suite of exercises...FS LIII
I know of no other bread 'n' butter grammar book that tackles grammar so clearly and so effectively. Uncluttered by jargon and not riddled with exceptions, it has a plain message for all advanced learners of French.
