I have a half dozen books on French Grammar and this one is my favorite. It is well organized, clear and concise. There are areas where it lacks the necessary detail, but I compliment such sections with other books. It is only 176 pages, so I can use it as my primary reference guide. It is odd, but every book I have read has introduced concepts that either were not covered in a previous book or that were not clear or properly emphasized. I therefore do no view the perceived gaps in this book as a shortcoming, but rather as a necessary attribute of any book on such a complex subject. The book is short enough that I have read it multiple times, letting the concepts really sink in. This is particularly helpful after I have worked with the material and read the same concepts in other books. So, while some people might view the concise nature of this book as a defect, I think it is actually a plus. Some books get so bogged down in detail that the really important concepts get buried and lost. I use this book primarily with "Living Language, Ultimate French."
Our grammar is different from their grammar. This book provides the link you need to understand what their grammar is all about. We need the side-by-side comparison. If English is all you know, then it is your frame of reference when trying to understand how French grammar affects the concepts you are trying to communicate. I own this book for every language I speak, and it is worth the purchase!
This was written by my very first teaching mentor, who taught me tons. It is an invaluable resource for any English speaker learning French. It's especially useful if you are not sure of what grammar terms mean in English. Don't buy it to replace a French textbook -- use it in addition to a textbook.
I just opened this book and immediately knew I would absolutely love it, as I teach students (seniors students) who are learning basic French. Although I gave them a printout of parts of speech, this book isa valuable addition to my teaching tools. I wish every student could be able to purchase it, but it is too costly for people who live on social security. They have told me their grandchildren do not learn parts of speech in English anymore in school. I was shocked! Could this be true? This book sets forth English grammar in a clear, completely understandable way. A must for anyone teaching grammar for students of French.
I got this book as a requirement for my French 1 course. It's an excellent reference guide, easy for even someone grammar-phobic (like me) to understand. Would definitely recommend even for the casual scholar of French.
This book is great for the right audience. There are actually two very different audiences for this work: (a) completely newbies to the basics of grammatical structure, who want a readable introduction to ideas like 'possessive pronoun' and 'passive voice,' which comparative examples in French and English; (b) experienced language learners who are already well-versed in grammar and want a good, introductory reference guide for building your understanding of the French language based on familiar schemes.To be honest, a comparative French/Spanish grammar would likely help (b) better than this work. The two grammars are so similar that I would have loved to review both simultaneously.I read this work while learning French with Duolingo, which doesn't carefully explain all features of a grammar so much as drown the player in examples. This is a good companion text. I read most of it in a single day!
I purchased a French lesson course, French Today, which recommended this book to help really grasp French grammar. I refer to it frequently, especially to understand verb tenses, going from English to French. It is worth every penny.
Wow. I love this! I'm taking French, and this book helps clarify things that I have missed in my textbook.One can also go to their website (listed in the book) for the Review Booklet (the answers are at the back; there is one download--not two).There is also a "French Correlations" download on the site(mentioned on page 6). With the "French Correlations," one can look up their school's textbook to customize EGFS (a grammar principle to read before textbook exercises).Definitely worth the price!
