I am trying to pickup French where I left it off after school and I do not just recommend, but I know that this book is something one needs whether he is a student or if is your native tongue. I bought an English edition, but I know some French people in the bank who have the french edition as they also sometimes have doubts about conjugations. This book is absolutely worth 7 and more. It will be the reference guide you use most while learning french, just like the dictionary.

Also this book has a reputation. This publication has been reprinted for years. One French person in a senior position noticed my book and immediately recognised it. He has one and been using it for years. So there should be no doubt in your mind whether you need this book or not.


Completely indispensible - a book for every houshold   September 21, 2000

This well presented book, in English edition, is the book you will find in every French houshold. There they use it to help conjugate the thousands of irregular French verbs, in all their tenses, for their childrens' school work and for use in everyday speech. Here, for anyone learning French, grammar is a top priority and this book's simple format with each verb set out on it's own page with conjugations for every tense you will ever need (and probably some you won't too!) takes out all the effort. No more darting backwards and forwards in a dictionary working out whether it's an 'er','ir','re' or an irregular verb. It's all done for you. Indispensible!
