French Grammar

[Speicher]

Is anyone on here familiar with "Grammaire Progressive du Français" by CLE Internationale?

I bought a copy in order to practice my French. My copy does not have the answers, whereas later editions have, I think, the answers, (if you are not in a class).

Does the inclusion of "Corrigés" mean that the answers are included? I am fairly sure it does mean that. Do I need two copies, the exercises and the answers?

My rusty French says you're correct.
Can you ask the seller if they have the other book with the answers?
I've got similar books for Latin, and for modern Greek: both are a set of 2 books, one book has the answers of the tests.

I think it is two books. The "corrected" edition is 73 pages, whereas the "exercises" book is nearly 300 pages.

I bought the 3rd Edition. Obviously the two books need to be the same edition.

I have sent a message to the seller.

The seller replied very promptly saying he did not know, but suggested they have more books on their website. I managed to find the 3rd edition of corrections, to match up with the first one.
Not confusing at all really.

Not the same and excuse for meandering, but I find learning how to speak a language is far more use than the grammar of it. Besides, I expect the average French native has about as much grasp of French Grammar as has the average 6th form British school pupil's grasp of English grammar - which is to say, not much.

The way I was taught French, and German, at school was in reading and writing the language. I did French and Spanish with business studies at College, and also audio typing and shorthand in French.

The main purpose of using the above books, is to keep learning, and keep the grey cells active. I have recently been reading some of the "Maigret" books in French.

My spoken French was greatly improved by spending two weeks in France on a walking holiday, mostly speaking French with someone who spoke no English.
