At last, a guide that explains points of French grammar and structure simply, then clarifies each with concrete examples. The examples use the language of real-life situations. This new edition also makes difficult topics, like the difference between mood and tense, even easier to understand. Numerous fill-in-the-blank and other exercises with delayed answers help cut down the time it takes readers to gain proficiency and confidence communicating in French.

great book but where's the disc?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 3, 2012

Verified Purchase

i purchased this book also thinking that the disc would come with it. it did not, and now i have to track it down somewhere. the grammar in the book it teaches is really important stuff! though it does not give you all of the translations, so you may need to have a dictionary, too

Must have French learning companion

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2003

I don't have to describe the content in detail as the self-explanatory nature of the title. I studied French in L'Alliance Francais for some time. Their communicative approach almost makes me paralysed until I have this book. I can't imagine how a middle age person can learn a new language by merely listening and imitating the sound of teachers. On the contrary the grammatical approach in this book systematically illustrate every single bit of grammar detail for beginner (and intermediate level student). By reading and reviewing the explanation as well as practising the exercise, I can make a lot sense in French now. And I am not just fantizing it. The most exciting piece of news is that my progress is noticed by both my French teacher and my classmates. The mastering of basic is so satisfying and giving me advancement and enjoyment.

Good supplemental material for beginners

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 30, 2002

This outline helped me studying for exams for college French I and II classes. My textbook was not organized well and it took me a long time to find informations I needed. This outline is so well organized that I could find the info quickly. The textbook did not provide any answers to the excercises, but the outline has the answers for all of its excercise problems so I worked on the excercise problems of the outline instead of the ones on the textbook.

Boring - A story of French Grammar

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 6, 2002

Monotonous black on newsprint white,
When I open it, it gives me a fright
No-one knows how to pronounce its name,
The book is so boring and oh so plain
French grammar could be much more fun,
Number of interesting exercises: none
The word 'boring' doesn't apply,
The exercises make me cry
I never need to count sheep,
Open Schaum's and I'm already asleep
You'd think by the fourth edition they would've got it,
I can't believe stores actually stock it
The places to write answers are tiny,
Truth be I try,
But if the next edition isn't better,
Out the window it will fly
The publisher is a crook,
The only thing less interesting is a phone book
A novel gets better with time,
For Schaum's I would not pay a dime
If you see this book run!
Toothache is more fun
And as for Mary E. Coffman Crocker,
People who use her book mock her
This book is a real flop,
Use it as a doorstop.
David Carr, July 2002.
P.S. This book is useful, but not interesting. If that's what you're looking for, buy it! But if you value things in life other than French grammar, perhaps look for another title.

An amazing book of French grammar!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

I have been looking for this book, a more recent edition for a long period of time. I have the first edition which is very old, but still gives me anything I want in terms of French grammar. Now, when, just by chance, I discovered on Amazon.com, that I could get a more recent version, I did not hesitate to order one and I have it now. It is an excellent book. It has a huge number of grammar drills on any grammatical notion one might encounters. I love it.

Excellent grammar guide

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 17, 2010

Verified Purchase

Really pleased with this book. It is a no-frills book of grammar drills which is probably best suited to those who have done a little French before to the very good (not complete beginners).

This was in good condition with relatively little written work by the previous owner. My French tutor rates the book highly and it was on her recommendation that I bought it.
