Practice Makes Perfect: Complete French Grammar, Premium Fifth Edition

Comprehensive and easy to understand. Great book!

This book is great and a good resource for learning French at the beginner’s level. Well worth the money.

Excellent, but the print was too small for my eyes. Had to return.

This is a very comprehensive guide to French grammar and explains every major rule. A great starting point if you’re looking to improve your French.

All of their books are good but online support promised does not exist. No flashcards, no extra verb drills. Otherwise great. But expect the book and nothing but the book. I suggest you do the exercises on a different piece of paper. Doing it all over again us also useful

Helped me with my French

Book arrived slightly damaged, but the book itself has everything I needed. Just a B2 Francophone who needs some grammar points explained differently and this book will do that for me just like the Spanish version has already done for me, and I know the Italian version will do likewise! I'm going to be a polyglot!

Possibly the most boring French book ever made. You start with a zillion verbs and exceptions. It may be good for a classroom, but you're probably going to die of boredom if you do this on your own. I learned a whole lot more on those series for people who are not very smart- won't mention the exact name.

I'm following a French course and bought this as supplementary material for self study. For me it is perfect, but without following the course I would be a bit lost as the book does not discuss every concept that is not directly relevant to the topic of the chapter. For example, in the first chapter, there are exercises to practice present tense conjugation - but gendered nouns and the plural indefinite article are not discussed. How can you write a proper sentence then?

Excelente libro para usar de guía con bases previamente adquiridas en clases o empíricamente, sí eres completamente principiante también es útil pero tendrás que investigar además muchas cosas más desde pronunciación y comprensión lectora/auditiva. En resumen, un excelente libro si eres principiante o si eres avanzado y quieres refrescar tus conocimientos mediante algunos ejercicios para practicar.

I was a little reluctant to purchase this due to the reviews about the quality of the paper, but they have fixed the issue and the paper is certainly think enough now.

Well structured and really good for self-study as there are translations

Excellent, comprehensive grammar book. I used to speak French fluently, if inaccurately but lack of practice and general laziness has allowed my proficiency to decline to the point where I can no longer follow even simple conversations. I decided to try to repair that and this book provides a chapter-by-chapter course to do so. The explanations and examples are so good that I often don't remember their being explained so well when I was in grade school. There are exercises that reinforce the learning and handy vocabulary lists applicable to the explained grammar. The chapters are well divided into French verbs, tenses and idioms are well covered. My progress is quite slow because I am continually revising what I have learned but I am already aware that my familiarity with the language is increasing. The big question is whether I can transfer the book learning to speaking but that isn't the books job.
