Learn French grammar step by step – from the very basics to advanced – one clear topic at a time. Bootstrap French Grammar breaks French grammar into 224 short, self-contained topics. Each topic gives you a brief, plain-English explanation of one grammar point, then lots of example phrases that show it in action. Every example comes with an English translation, audio of its pronunciation and a note pointing out exactly how it illustrates the topic's grammar. LEARN BY DOING After each topic, practise with three kinds of exercises: - Build the phrase – put the words in the right order - Multiple choice – pick the right word for the gap - Typing – type the correct form yourself "WHY?" EXPLANATIONS Got something wrong? Tap "Why?" to see why your answer was wrong and what the right answer is – written for every example in the course. SPACED REPETITION Phrases you've practised come back for review just as you're about to forget them – the next day, then after longer and longer gaps. A few minutes a day fixes them in your long-term memory. The clock button shows how many phrases are due, and an optional daily reminder keeps you on track.
