Inside you will find:

  • Thorough explanations of topics that often prove difficult for English speakers when they learn French, such as the correct use of object pronouns.

  • Practical exercises that give you the opportunity to test what you've learned

Learn the ins and outs of: Compound tenses • Translating -ing • The subjunctive • Relative tenses • Ce versus ça • Prepositions • . . . and much more
