Practice Makes Perfect Complete French Grammar (Practice Makes Perfect Series)

Love the mix of activities in this Grammar book. I like this author's workbooks better than others. She has you write in complete sentences sometimes which is helpful. Topics cover verbs, verb tenses, pronouns, adverbs, adjectives, some vocabulary, numbers etc. There are 260 pages of exercises, plus two glossaries and an answer key totalling 304 pages. So, you get a lot of exercises and material for the money. This is a great review book. It starts out with more simple concepts (present tense of verbs) and works up to the more difficult topics. So, you can fill in the holes in your knowledge. It has a clear and pleasing format and organization. It's fun to use. I use it to supplement the French classes I take during the year. The author is a French native and teaches French at NYU's continuing education program, so she knows what works in the classroom.

I ordered this along with many other French grammar books I'm scouting out for this and next semester, and this one is an absolute winner. Clear, concise grammatical explanations with relevant and level-appropriate exercises whose vocabulary matches the students' expected language skills. It manages to fit all the things you want for a French 2 or 3 course, for under fifteen bucks! Perfect resource for self-teaching, or for a course where you want to review grammar alongside authentic cultural materials. As those materials change from semester to semester, this resource will remain useful, relevant, cheap (and let's hope: in print).

I've been using this book for studying on my own and found it easy to follow. The audio answer key is a great idea but the normal rate of spoken French is still difficult for me to understand. I keep plodding on and completing the written exercises so the book is good enough to keep me from abandoning hope of learning French. I recommend listening to French audiobooks, too.

I didn't study French for a decade. I had just about forgotten it. This book brought it back. It's easily the best review book I've ever seen, and I've been studying French on and off for about 20 years. It cuts out all the nonsense and gets right to the point. I don't know that I'd use it alone as a new learner, but it's a wonderful companion book and an excellent review book.

It was my "to-go book" during my advanced French class in college. The prescribed coursebook was so horrible I had to get something else to help me out, so I found "Complete French Grammar" from Practice Makes Perfect. It literally saved my grade! It helped me a lot. I highly recommend it.

I would advise any person who’s taking a French language course to purchase a Complete French Grammer. After completing French 1, 2, and 3, I’ve purchased the book to help increase my vocabulary before enrolling in an intensive conversational course in Paris, French. The book includes expression and translations, idioms and grammatical construction practical supplement, and phonetic transcription of French.

I needed a grammar supplement for my independent study student because modern textbooks are a bit phrenetic in their attempt to integrate culture and imitate real-life language acquisition. Most textbooks simply do not offer enough plain drills to give students the repetition they need to master the basic grammar of French. This book is simple, clear, and thorough. My student is learning the structure of the language. Hooray!

I purchased this book to help me clean up my French grammar. I find the instruction and exercises very good, but for whatever reason, the formatting of this book does not work well on either my iPod Touch (3rd Generation) or my netbook. The exercises are in graphic images. They don't enlarge easily and this makes it difficult to work with. In retrospect, I wish I would have purchased this one in hardcopy.

Ottimo libro di studio per chi con la lingua è alle prime armi. lo consiglio assolutamente. Libro ricevuto nuovo di zecca ad un buon prezzo. Grazie ad amazon!

Ordered on Thursday, arrived Saturday (this afternoon)with free delivery! I've just completed the first chapter "Er verbs". I am using this book in conjunction with using Duolingo and enrolling on an evening course. I wouldn't recommend it for true beginners though. I'd say you need to be at Elementary level at least, as some of the examples in the explanations use multi-verb constructions in the first chapter, though it is all backed up with explanations in English, which is great. I agree with some other reviews that it is easy to read/understand and the exercises are good for reinforcement of the grammar points but yes, it could do with a few more, mainly to give the reader chance to practise and check the answers to ALL the different uses it explains. For instance, it shows 4 different eplanations of the constructions which can be used to say "since" in French but it only gives the answers to the following exercises using 2 of these. So, if you've used the other 2 constructions (like I did) then you can't be sure whether or not you got them right. However, it is definitely the best book I have tried so far and I highly recommend it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect condition & fantastic book! I ordered Complete French Grammar by Annie Heminway and was so happy with the experience. The packaging was very neat, and the book arrived in excellent condition—better than I expected for a used copy! Thank you to the seller for the care. As for the book itself, I absolutely love it. It's clear, well-structured, and incredibly helpful for learning French. Highly recommended for anyone serious about mastering French grammar!

Warum schreibe ich eine Rezension auf Deutsch über ein englisches Buch mit dem man Französisch lernen will? Weil ich es kann. Man sollte sich im klaren sein, was man von dem Buch erwartet. Es handelt sich um ein Arbeitsbuch, in dem die einzelnen Elemente der französischen Grammatik erklärt werden, zu den Themen gibt es anschließend Übungen. Dazu bekommt man auch Vokabeln, diese sind aber alle Grundwortschatz (z.B. Körperteile, Monate und Wochentage usw.), auf exotische Vokabeln wurde größtenteils verzichtet. Man kann die Vokabeln hinten im Buch nachschlagen, ich bevorzuge allerdings ein Wörterbuch daneben, um nicht ständig umblättern zu müssen. Das Buch richtet sich NICHT an blutige Anfänger, man sollte schon elementare Grundkenntnisse der Sprache mitbringen (A2 sage ich mal). Ich empfinde die Erklärungen als gut gelungen, es wird nichts wichtiges weggelassen, aber auch nicht ausladend alles überkompliziert erklärt. Häufige Ausnahmen, idiomatische Ausdrücke und wichtige Unterschiede zur englischen Sprache werden erklärt. Die Aufgaben beginnen meist mit Lückentexten, dann muss man häufig französische Sätze umschreiben oder Phrasen einander zuordnen, und als schwierigste Stufe muss man Sätze aus dem Englischen in das Französische übersetzen. Die Lösungen können direkt ins Buch geschrieben werden, und obwohl meine Handschrift alles andere als klein und zierlich ist, habe ich keine Platzprobleme, im Gegensatz zu manch anderen Werk. Da der Preis für gut 300 Seiten nicht besonders hoch ist, kann man auch guten Gewissens in das Buch schreiben. Die Lösungen sind nicht mit abgedruckt, diese können im Internet abgerufen werden (selbst wenn man das Buch nicht hat, sind auf der Seite des Herstellers frei verfügbar). Dabei werden die Texte auch vorgelesen, ein netter Lerneffekt nebenbei. Das Benutzerführung auf der Website könnte zwar verbessert werden, aber das sind nur unwesentliche Ärgernisse. Falls man allerdings ein Nachschlagewerk für Grammatik sucht, ist man hier an der falschen Stelle. Das Buch ist weder handlich noch stabil genug, um als solches zu dienen, außerdem stehen die Informationen zwischen den Übungen verteilt und können nicht direkt nachgeschlagen werden. Fazit: Sehr gutes Arbeitsbuch für Lernende zwischen Anfänger und mittleren Niveau, die genügend gut Englisch können. C’est en forgeant que l’on devient forgeron
