This concise summary of French grammar serves language students as a handy textbook supplement for classroom use, and is also valuable for translators whose first language is English. Topics covered include parts of speech, sentence structure, punctuation, idioms, and pronunciation advice. Small in size but packed with helpful instruction, this new edition is printed with headings and key phrases in a second color for fast, easy reference.

Approximately 300 of the most frequently used French verbs are presented in the form of clear, easy-to-read conjugation tables. Arranged alphabetically by infinitive, one verb per page, each verb is defined in English. At the bottom of each page are sample sentences and related words and expressions. The book also includes thorough instruction in verb usage, as well as a listing of verbs that are conjugated like the main verb. Titles in Barron's Verbs series are shorter versions of Barron's 501 Verbs series. These smaller-format references make handy sources for language students, teachers, and translators.
