This is a revised and updated edition of the same authors' acclaimed Guide to Contemporary French Usage, first published in 1982. It provides guidance for those who have already acquired the basics of French and wish to extend their knowledge of the language.

Clearly laid out and easy to consult, it will prove invaluable to all who wish to improve their fluency and confidence in French. * Designed to promote the fluency and accuracy vital to effective communication * Tailored to the needs of the English-speaking user * Clear format for ease of reference * Full treatment of key grammatical areas * Highlights the problem of register * Important section on vocabulary extension, with index for efficient access * Invaluable to all advanced learners, and to anyone requiring up-to-date guidance on points of grammar and vocabulary
