Synopsis

Master practical French with a clear, teacher‑friendly grammar designed for English‑speaking students.

This edition presents a practical two‑part approach: a first part of exercises to build usage, and a second part that lays out the essentials of French grammar for study and reference. The author emphasizes guided pronunciation practice, classroom methods, and the role of a competent teacher in delivering lessons.

Inside you’ll find guidance on how the book is to be used, notes on pronunciation, and a framework for lessons that can be adapted to different classes. A list of reference works and a comprehensive table of contents help readers navigate topics from parts of speech to verbs, tenses, and syntax. The volume also includes a French–English vocabulary and an English–French vocabulary, making it a practical resource for both learning and teaching.

• Structured practice through practical exercises across two main parts.
• Clear guidance on pronunciation and classroom use by a seasoned teacher.
• A defined path from parts of speech to advanced grammar topics with accompanying references.
• Extensive vocabulary lists to support reading and translation tasks.

Ideal for teachers and students seeking a mass‑market, classroom‑tested introduction to French grammar and usage.
