Modern French Syntax And Composition PDF Download

Excerpt from Lessons in French Syntax and Composition The purpose of these Lessons is to state as briefly and as clearly as possible the most important rules of French syntax, and to offer a sufficient quantity of material for translation from English into French to give the student a thorough drill in applying these rules. A knowl edge of the forms and of the simplest rules is presupposed. By having the syntax brief and the exercises placed directly after the part of the syntax under discussion, no time or patience need be lost in looking up references to grammars, nor will the student be con fused by a multiplicity of rules, many of which, while necessary in a complete grammar, would serve only to bewilder the mind of the be ginner. To facilitate references the syntax has been paragraphed continuously. It has been found best not to pay any attention to the recent changes now tolerated in French orthography and syntax.
