Synopsis

Long trusted as the most comprehensive, up-to-date and user-friendly grammar available, French Grammar and Usage is a complete guide to French as it is written and spoken today. It includes clear descriptions of all the main grammatical phenomena of French, and their use, illustrated by numerous examples taken from contemporary French, and distinguishes the most common forms of usage, both formal and informal.

Key features include:

• comprehensive content, covering all the major structures of contemporary French

• user-friendly organisation offering easy-to-find sections with cross-referencing and indexes of English words, French words and grammatical terms

• clear and illuminating examples to help students at all stages of their degree

• useful indications of what cannot be written or said as well as what can.

Revised and updated throughout, this new edition offers updated examples to reflect current usage, headers to include chapter number and section parts as well as cross-referencing for easier reference and explanations of notoriously difficult points of grammar. This edition includes references to changes in French spelling now being introduced across French education and to social change towards inclusive writing.

The combination of reference grammar and manual of current usage is an invaluable resource for students and teachers of French at the intermediate to advanced levels.

This Grammar is accompanied by Practising French Grammar: A Workbook (available to purchase separately ISBN 978-1-032-44140-5) which features related exercises and activities. An Instructor and Student Resource site also accompanies the book and offers additional resources at https://routledgelearning.com/frenchgrammarandusage.
