Grammaire supplémentaire
pour Affaires.com
These grammar links are coordinated with specific grammar sections in
Jean-Luc Penfornis Affaires.com
(Paris: CLE International, 2003), whose pages are stated in parentheses
after the French name of numbered sections in the book's "Grammaire"
appendix (98-113). In all cases, I have included pages references to
exercises in the textbook lessons referring to these sections of the
grammar appendix. In each case, I have also included a few
English word to describe or characterize the section. Many of the
links are to the outstanding and comprehensive "Tex's French Grammar"
(Univ. of Texas), but there are links to other sites. I have done
this because I have found only an outline of grammatical topics with
examples in the Affaires.com textbook.
