French Prepositions is an in-depth study of the forms of both simple and compound prepositions and their use in modern French. It is designed for use by teachers and students who wish to express themselves correctly in French and are looking for a complete and reliable reference book.

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.

This invaluable book describes the development of the French language from its Latin origins to its most recent form. Booth explains how written and oral French have been influenced by other languages over the centuries and then shows the traces of these influences in its modern vocabulary and pronunciation.

This comprehensive manual thoroughly covers every aspect of French grammar, from the basic to the most advanced level, and illustrates the grammatical structures with useful, practical and interesting examples. It can be used as a classroom text in intermediate and advanced courses, as well as for reference and self-study.

This work is intended for college-level instruction, for self-study and for reference purposes. It should help the student to become proficient in the pronounciation of French by explaining the characteristics of the French sound system clearly and systematically.
