viiIntroduction
Practice is an indispensable element of mastery in foreign language learning, as in other subject areas. French Verb Drillsis an excellent supplement to basic classroom texts and is particularly valuable as a tool for individualized instruction and practice. In a clear and concise way this book leads students to an understanding of how French verbs are formed and used. A variety of exercises reinforces the ability to manipulate the language in its written form, and many of the exercises can be easily converted to oral drills, thereby adding another dimen- sion to practice. Students use the verbs in context, and the emphasis is on con- temporary, colloquial use of the language. There are several abbreviations that are used throughout the book. These are as follows: f. feminine fam. familiar m. masculine pl. plural reg. regular s. singular French Verb Drillsis divided into two parts. Part 1 offers concise expla- nations, charts, and focused examples of all French verb constructions, tenses, and moods, beginning with the present tense of regular and irregular verbs. Part 2 provides complete reference charts for common irregular verbs and verb groups. There are also an appendix offering students a final review of all the conjugations learned in the book, an answer key for self-correction, and a French-English/English-French index of verbs. This book should be an invaluable aid for students wishing to advance more quickly in their study of French, as well as for those who need additional understanding and practice for mastering classroom assignments.This page intentionally left blank.
