French Grammar in Context

French Grammar in Context presents a unique and exciting approach to learning grammar and this revised sixth edition includes new chapters on language registers and regional varieties, as well as three additional revision texts. Authentic texts from a rich variety of sources, literary and journalistic, are used as the starting point for the illustration and explanation of key areas of French grammar, with each point consolidated with a wide range of written and spoken exercises. Grammar is presented not as an end in itself, but as a tool essential to enjoying French, understanding native speakers, and communicating effectively with them. Literary texts and poems are taken from renowned French and Francophone authors such as Albert Camus, Émile Zola, Leila Slimani, André Malraux, Amélie Nothomb, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Stendhal, Jacques Prévert, and Maryse Condé. News sources include Libération, Le Point, Marianne, and Le Monde Diplomatique, in addition to articles from regional papers such as Ouest-France and La Voix du Nord. Lifestyle articles are included from magazines such as Elle. French Grammar in Context is aimed at intermediate and advanced students and is ideal for both independent and class-based study.
