French Verbs Inside and Out July 14, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have read the Spanish version of this book, and this book is just as good. The explanations of the present tense, the passe compose, the imparfait, and the subjunctive are formidable. The book is divided into the following sections:
1. The Present Tense of Regular Verbs 2. The Present Tense of Irregular Verbs 3. A few impersonal verbs 4. Reflexive Verbs 5. The passe compose 6. The imperfect tense (l'imparfait) 7. The pluperfect tense (le plus-que-parfait) 8. The passe simple 9. The Future Tenses 10. The conditional 11. The subjunctive 12. The infinitive 13. The imperative 14. The present participle and the gerund 15. The Passive Voice
Although this book was great, I wish it had a better explanation of the subjunctive. It explained the present du subjonctif and the passe du subjonctif, but not the imparfait du subjonctif or the plus-que-parfait du subjonctif.
I liked the explanations of the passe compose and the imparfait, but the explanations are pretty much the same as in any other French grammar book. The same goes for the subjunctive. I don't particulary understand why the infinitive was explained at the END of the book. I think it should've been at the beginning.
