French Usage provides a topic-based guide to the main areas of French vocabulary, usage, and grammar that present particular translation difficulties. Based on the usage notes included in the "Oxford-Hachette French Dictionary", this guide provides comprehensive information on words and expressions relevant to specific areas of vocabulary, ranging from telephone conversations to the weather.

Substantially revised and updated, this is the third edition of a highly popular book which has been helping students for decades. It provides a sound base of linguistic competence upon which students can build with confidence. Comprises twelve thematic modules each including a relevant and contemporary text based on an aspect of French life and culture, associated exercises, and a section on grammar.
