French Verbs and Idioms offers an overview of essential grammatical terms (such as conjugation, mood, elision, gender, agreement, etc.) and categorizes the verbs. Extensive lists of useful idioms, proverbs, and sayings containing the verbs, tenses, and moods discussed fill the gaps in the knowledge of the advanced learner. Explanations are in English and all verbs, examples, idioms, proverbs, and sayings are translated into English for comparison purposes and comprehension.

French can be a difficult language when it comes to irregular verbs and rules for conjugation. This book solves the problem many readers have with sorting out regular and irregular verbs, uses, tenses, and endings. With lots of exercises and examples to ensure readers have a verb down pat, this book teaches them the tense or rule and explains why the verb is irregular, or why the ending is different. In a unique blend of reference and tutorial chapters, Gail Stein makes French verbs accessible and easy to learn.
