Practice Makes Perfect: French Sentence Builder 1st edition PDF download
English and French have many similarities such as common vocabulary words derived from Latin. Knowing these words makes it easier for a speaker of English to learn and remember French words. However, when it comes to word order, French and English sentences may sometimes differ. For example, adverbs are usually placed before a verb in English but after the verb in French.
This book will help you compare the syntax of French and English sentences, allow you to revisit grammatical concepts such as object pronouns (focusing on their position in the French sentence), and provide you with many opportunities to write the least as well as the most complex sentences. This book and a little determination will undoubtedly make you a better writer.
A step-by-step approach to analyzing the components of a sentence paired with a guided structuring of phrases, sentences, and ultimately paragraphs will allow you to hone your writing skills.
The structures that are explained and practiced in this book progress from basic phrases, such as À demain (See you tomorrow), to increasingly complex sentences including relative and subjunctive clauses. Many diagrams accompany information to illustrate the functions and positions of the various parts of a sentence.
This book provides an abundance of exercises to help you practice building and structuring a great variety of sentences. Some exercises aim at helping you understand structures by identifying or matching components, while others require restructuring, modifying, and writing new sentences. The ultimate goal is to write full sentences independently. The last few chapters of this book allow you to progress from writing sentences to writing paragraphs, e-mails, and letters.
An answer key is provided with actual or suggested answers for all exercises or with models for such activities as letter writing.
Writing can be challenging in any language, but rest assured that close attention to the rules of sentence building combined with regular practice will make you a better writer. This book will provide you with ample opportunities to build sentences while at the same time building your confidence as a writer.
