Book Description
It's time for a new approach to learning French verbs. Unlike popular verb guides that require the rote memorization of hundreds of verb forms, this book clearly explains the rules that govern the conjugation of all classes of French verbs—especially the irregular ones that give second-language learners the most trouble. These straightforward, easy-to-understand rules for conjugating French verbs are effective learning tools for both beginning students and more advanced speakers who want to perfect their usage of French verb forms. French Verbs Made Simple(r) has many helpful features that you won't find in any other verb guide: Clear explanations of all verb tenses and forms. The simple patterns and rules that govern the conjugation of all verbs—including those verbs whose irregularities follow patterns that can be easily learned. A detailed discussion of how each verb form is used, with numerous examples. A full explanation of whether a verb should be conjugated with avoir or être, and the conditions under which the past participle is variable—two of the thorniest problems for students of French. An extended treatment of the subjunctive that will help you understand why it is used in some situations but not others. Complete conjugations for 57 basic model verbs (along with 27 "variants") and a comprehensive listing of some 6,200 verbs that indicates which of the models each verb follows. Going well beyond any other guide in the clarity and detail of its explanations—as well as the innovative manner in which individual verbs are linked to model conjugations—French Verbs Made Simple(r) is the only guide to French verbs a learner needs.

Book Description
[NEW, expanded, Third Edition, September 2021] Having trouble getting your head round FRENCH VERBS? They aren't as difficult as you may think. This brightly coloured book, with its accompanying set of YouTube videos, is designed to be the perfect desk companion for any teacher of French, or beginner, KS3 or GCSE student. The whole French verb system is boiled down to its simplest components, to make it as easy as possible to understand and memorise. The basic philosophy is to explain in visual terms what happens to individual verbs or groups of verbs, as a teacher would explain it. Recurring patterns are made crystal-clear. The stems of verbs are carefully lined up so that you can easily follow the changes that occur. Different colours immediately highlight patterns. Tricky irregularities and important variations are marked in a range of colours, bold type, italics, capital letters and underlining.

The rationale behind this method of setting out verbs was born of the author's six decades of experience teaching French in school classrooms and in one-to-one tutoring. NEW to this 3rd edition (2021) is the "Plus" section - over 50 pages of GRAMMAR TIPS, using the same range of visually clear colour-coding/lining-up etc. techniques as the Verbs section. This is not a comprehensive outline of French Grammar - standard text books provide that. This section is intended to clarify points of grammar and vocabulary which are commonly misunderstood. Examples contain a range of useful everyday vocabulary. Also separately available - available as a paperback or a freely downloadable pdf - is a new Workbook (2021) which contains 219 practice sentences designed to help you master the verbs laid out in this book.
