Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The French Verb: Its Conjugation and Idiomatic Use
The object of this work is to show the complete conjugations of all French verbs and to illustrate their idiomatic use.
The idea of the author is that when a student learns to conjugate a verb, he should also learn how to use it. It is as necessary to know what preposition, if any, follows a verb before an infinitive as it is to know the gender Of a, noun. It is also necessary to know how to form a sentence with the verb.
The arrangement of the book is based on the system used at the United States Military Academy, where the object is to impart a thorough working knowledge of the French language in the most practical way and in the shortest time possible.
The verb is to a language what the steel frame is to a building. Hence at the Military Academy the Verb Book is a companion to the Grammar and the Reader.
