Practising French Grammar: A Workbook (A Hodder Arnold Publication)

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 organization 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.

Roger Hawkins is Professor of Language and Linguistics at the University of Essex. Richard Towell is Professor of French Applied Linguistics at the University of Salford and a past President of the Association of French Language Studies. Marie-Noëlle Lamy is Professor of Distance Language Learning at the Open University.
