Book excerpt: Excerpt from French Composition And Grammar Review This book has been written to provide a simple review of the essentials of French grammar; and to afford suitable composition material for second year classes. It is conveniently divided into (1) Lecture Française; (2) English Exercises based upon the French; and (3) Grammar Review. The Lecture Française contains thirty-six short sketches on interesting phases of French thought and French life. An earnest effort has been made to present strikingly modern material that the average student will find interesting. Some of the sketches are in the form of description; others are in the form of dialogue, according to the nature of the topic treated. In all cases they are in the language of every day, - the language that is employed in informal conversation. The past definite is sparingly used, so that practice in the proper conversational past tense, the past indefinite, may be emphasized. The simple style of the sketches will direct and encourage the student to use in a natural manner the unstilted and informal language forms that are so truly characteristic of French conversation. The English Exercise for translation into French are based directly on the thirty-six units of the Lecture Française. They cover quite thoroughly the vocabulary and grammatical content of the French text, and are arranged in the form of connected discourse. Especial care has been taken to make no unnecessary demands on the capacity of the student. The English Exercise are simple and clear and will permit the average student to feel encouraged with his efforts.
