French Grammar in Context takes authentic texts from a rich variety of sources - the human body on CD-ROM, a fish recipe, L'Etrager and many others - and uses them as them starting point for the illustration and explanation of key areas of French grammar. Placing the emphasis on grammar in context and on grammar with a functional and comunicative purpose, the authors have included a range of exercises, many of them text-based, to give students the opportunity to practice these key points. Grammar is presented not as an end in itself, but as a tool essential both to understanding and enjoying the authentic language of native speakers, and producing effective language of one's own. Aimed at intermediate and advanced students of French, this book can be used for both individual and for tutor-led study.
