商品簡介
Booth (French, U. of Portland) offers a text suitable as a reference guide for students and teachers of French, as a classroom text for all levels of study, and for use by self-study students who want to refine their written and oral language skills. Explanations are in English, and all verbs, examples, idioms, proverbs and sayings (drawn from current usage) are translated into English. Differences between French and English usage of tense and mood are emphasized throughout the text. Readers will also find warnings about "mistakes to avoid"--errors frequently made by anglophone speakers and how to avoid them--and tips on how to treat those verbs, verbal expressions and grammatical structures that cannot be translated literally from English into French.
