This second edition of French Grammar and Usage has benefitted considerably from the comments of friends, colleagues and students who used the first edition and found areas where it could be improved. We would particularly like to thank the following for their significant help: Aidan Coveney, Jim Dolamore, Annick Leyssen, Matthew McNamara and Jonathan Mallinson. We would also like to thank George Stephenson for his comments on the text prior to the reprinting of the second edition. We alone are responsible for any errors or weaknesses of presentation which remain.
