Excerpt from The Study And Practice Of French In School, For Advanced Classes, Vol. 3: Irregular Verbs And Idioms, Composition, Syntax And Exercises Care has been taken to simplify verbs by grouping them together according to their terminations and irregularities, while the numerous exercises in each verb lesson will enable students to learn how to apply their knowledge. Learning Idioms gradually and in connection with verbs will make the study of the latter more interesting; this method seems to be the better way of impressing both on the mind. Extracts of excellent French prose as a basis for varied exercises, are designed to help students to assimilate the phraseology of the foreign tongue, and to be a preparation for French composition. To the same end, unusual atten tion is given to the construction of the language, to its idiomatic peculiarities, and to the main differences between English and French modes of expression, particularly in the use of pronouns and prepositions.
