A fantastic guide for GCSE french grammar (Rating 4 of 5)
» Mr. A. Williamson
This book is perfect for anyone studying French at GCSE level or any intermediate learner. Key grammar points are simply explained and organised by the different parts of speech meaning it is easy to find what your looking for. If you are an advanced student, don't choose this book as you will already be familiar with most of the topics covered in this book, but if you're beginning in your studies this is an excellent reference book to get you started
good resource, lacking detail (Rating 3 of 5)

Unfortunately lacking the detail required for even 1st year University complete gramatical knowledge, but an excellent and clearly structured resource nonetheless
Makes French grammar easy! (Rating 5 of 5)
» S.B.
I've been living in France for eighteen months now, and this book has been a life-saver. It's extremely easy to use: organised by parts of speech (but with a glossary to explain terms used for those who don't know), each section has a wealth of examples included, so you're not just learning grammar rules, you're learning the actual language. "Key points" included at the end of each section reinforce the principles learned.
There's also an index of words used, so when you come across something like "en" and just can't figure out what it's doing in a sentence, you can easily look up all the things it *might* be doing. The authors show great sensitivity to common problems that English speakers have with the French language, and also to the differing registers of formality within French. Of course, no French grammar would be complete without tables of irregular verbs, and these are included too.
This is an extremely useful book which no beginning student of French should be without

We went to France on our annual visit and in the chateau we rented there was this book . It is 30 years since I took French at school and considerably longer for my 82 year old father, and much more recent for my nephews who are currently studying the language.We all enjoyed this book, reviving long forgotten phrases and how to decline nouns and hints and tips from experienced French teachers on the finer points of the language. Excellent! so good was it that I bought a copy for each of us on our return
