More information about the book:
'French Grammar in Context' takes authentic texts from a variety of sources,
both literary and journalistic, and uses them as the starting point for the
illustration and explanation of the principal areas of French grammar.
Placing the emphasis on grammar in context and on grammar with a functional
and communication purpose, the authors have included a range of exercises,
many of which are text-based, to give students the opportunity to practice
these key points. Grammar is presented not as an end in itself, but as tool
essential both to understanding and enjoying the authentic language of
native speakers, and to producing effective language of one's own. Aimed at
intermediate and advanced students of French, this book can be used both for
individual and for tutor-led study.
