Features: This series "French Grammar: French Made Easy" is divided into three levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced), progressing from the grammatical functions of parts of speech and verb tenses to sentence structure and logical relationships, in a step-by-step and gradual manner. It is both systematic and comprehensive, with beginner level covering sentence patterns and forms, and advanced level covering parts of speech and tenses. However, each level has different focuses in grammar explanations, and the accompanying exercises vary in difficulty. This series has the following features:
1. Explanations are concise and easy to understand. The key points and difficulties of grammar are presented in an outline format, providing learners with a clear overview of a linguistic phenomenon.
2. Examples are practical and closely tied to the practicality of the language. Every grammar rule explained in this book is accompanied by examples to help learners grasp and apply the grammar points.
3. Exercises are innovative and rich in vocabulary. The exercises (with reference answers provided) are designed around the key points and difficulties of the grammar rules, featuring diverse and lively formats, with vocabulary closely reflecting contemporary French life.
4. "Notes" sections are included. These are primarily used to supplement special usages of grammar points and unique linguistic phenomena.
To make this book more suitable for Chinese learners, the translator made the following changes:
1. The original book used the new spelling rules adopted and recommended by the Collège de France, which involve the omission of accents in 20 basic French words. Considering that this new spelling rule has not yet been implemented in China, the translator has restored the accents in the examples and exercises.
2. To make this series more concise, easier to understand, and better suited to the needs of Chinese learners, the translator has made minor edits or additions to the original text, examples, and exercises.
