A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The purpose of these Lessons is to state as briefly and as clearly as possible the most important rules of French syntax, and to offer a sufficient quantity of material for translation from English into French to give the student a thorough drill in applying these rules. A knowledge of the forms and of the simplest rules is presupposed. By having the syntax brief and the exercises placed directly after the part of the syntax under discussion, no time or patience need be lost in looking up references to grammars, nor will the student be confused by a multiplicity of rules, many of which, while necessary in a complete grammar, would serve only to bewilder the mind of the beginner. To facilitate references the syntax has been paragraphed continuously. It has been found best not to pay any attention to the recent changes now "tolerated" in French orthography and syntax. The three sets of exercises following each lesson are graded according to their diiliculty, thus giving sufficient material for defferent classes of students. In order to prevent mechanical translations the sentences of a given lesson are so chosen that they do not all illustrate the syntax of the lesson. As the idioms in French offer one of the greatest difficulties in mastering the language, a few of the most common idiomatic phrases have been added to each lesson, and sentences containing these phrases are given in the exercises for the sake of further drill. Special attention has also been given to the modal auxiliaries. The part on letter-writing is intended to give the student a knowledge of French forms of address. About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
