A Student Grammar of French A Student Grammar of French is a concise introduction to French grammar, designed specifically for English-speaking undergraduates. Keeping technical detail to a minimum, it explains the fundamentals of the grammar in accessible and simple terms, and helps students to put their learning into practice through a range of fun andengaging exercises. All the essential topics are covered, with chapters on verbs, nouns, adjectives, pronouns, determiners, prepositions, adverbs, negation, numerals, sentences and clauses. Every grammatical point is illustrated with a range of authentic examples drawn from magazines and newspapers, covering many areas of contemporary life such as fashion, health issues, relationships and sport. Itis clearly organised into a user-friendly, numbered indexing system, allowing the learner to locate any grammatical topic quickly and easily. Functioning as both an indispensable reference guide and a comprehensive workbook, this grammar will become the perfect accompaniment to any first- or second-year undergraduate course. Malcolm Offord was formerly Lecturer and Reader in the Department ofFrench, University of Nottingham. He is author of Varieties of French (1990), French Sociolinguistics (1996), French Words, Past, Present and Future (2001), Francophone Literatures: A Literary and Linguistic Companion (2001), Using French: A Guide to Contemporary Usage (with Ronald Batchelor, Cambridge University Press, 3rd edition 2000) and Using French Synonyms (with Ronald Batchelor, CambridgeUniversity Press, 1993).
