    This class is for students who have a good grammar base but could benefit from some additional practice including conjugation of the most used tenses, negation, correct pronoun usage and placement, distinguishing between the past tenses, si clauses, etc. Depending on the desires and abilities of the class, we may also delve into lesser studied aspects of grammar like the past subjunctive, double pronouns, agreement with composed tenses, etc. Each week, students will have a few pages of grammar exercises to complete at home that we’ll correct in class. I’m open to any and all suggestions as to what aspects of grammar we study. Class will be conducted in French and English.
