THE
French Grammer Book
Dear Reader,
I am pleased to be able to share my love and knowledge of the French language with you. Since 1999, I've been teaching French via the Internet (About the French Language http://french.about.com ) and it's thanks to this Web site that I am now writing books.
When I was studying French, I was utterly baffled by some of the grammatical constructions I was supposed to memorize. I thought that I would never be able to remember them, and certainly not be able to speak French with any thing approaching the ease with which I speak English. But now I can, and I am sure that one day you will be able to as well.
Bon courage!
tous mes professeurs de franais : merci beaucoup!
As always I must thank my wonderful agent, Barb Doyen, for her support. I'd also like to say merci to my editor, Gina Chaimanis, and all of the folks at Adams Media who helped to create this book. Above all, I want to thank all of my French teachers, who did their best to not only teach me French, but show me the beauty and logic of the language. If I had known then what I know now, maybe I wouldn't have been so difficult in French class. Je vous remercie.
BIENVENUE AND WELCOME to the wonderful world of French. Grammar is not the most exciting part of language learning, but it is beautiful in its own way. There is always logic involved in the various constructions; the problem is that this logic is specific to each language what is logical in French may not be so in English, and vice versa.
The best way to learn another language is to try to avoid comparing everything to your own language, and above all not asking why? When you are further along in your studies, it can be very interesting to ask why something is said a certain way, but in the beginning, the explanations are likely to be either unhelpful or down-right confusing.
Right now, just try to understand the various constructions and how to use them. When it seems overwhelming, remember why you want to learn French to travel, get a job overseas, or chat with French speakers who live nearby. Having a goal in mind can be a great source of inspiration in your studies. As you develop fluency, you will need to think about how to say what you want to say less and less, and this too can be very inspiring.
Your interest in this book means that you are either looking to learn French grammar or build on what you've already learned. Either way, you will find that this book has just what you need: lessons that are detailed without being overwhelming; tips and tricks to help you remember difficult points, distinguish between similar words, and avoid pitfalls; and Exercices de contrle at the end of each chapter to make sure you understand the lessons.
At the end of the book, you'll find verb tables for sample verbs and the most common irregular verbs. These verb tables only include simple (single verb) conjugations. This is because compound (double verb) conjugations are based on simple conjugations and are very easy to figure out, so there is no need to conjugate hundreds of verbs into another seven tenses. If you study the verb lessons in this book, you should have no trouble conjugating the compound tenses.
So without further ado, look to the next page and start learning about French grammar.
LEARNING FRENCH IS not the easiest thing in the world, but it can be extremely interesting and worthwhile. Whether you want to visit French-speaking countries, chat with native speakers who live nearby, or just learn more about the world, being able to speak French well will definitely make the experience more enjoyable.
French is a Romance language, although that's not why it's called the language of love. In linguistic terms, Romance comes from the word Roman and simply means from Latin. The complete language family classification of French is Indo-European > Italic > Romance. Here are some things to know about the language classification of French:
