Bescherelle 3: Grammaire Pour Tous: Bescherelle 3 - Grammaire Pour Tous (French Edition)
Recently, I have started reading the Bescherelle French Grammar reference. If you are not really into grammar, this may not interest you. However, if you are determined to learn French, I have a couple reasons I think you should consider reading or at least skimming this grammar, even if grammar "n'est pas votre truc"
1. Grammar is important to the French society. You can see this in their writing system (a good deal of spelling reflects the grammatical value of a word instead of its phonetic value), you can see this in France's school system (the Bescherelle Grammar and Conjugation references are must-haves for every student), and you can see this in everyday interactions (In my observations it seems to me that French speakers delight in viewing their language as grammatically complex and they have a very secure language attitude in relation to this).
2. This grammar can serve as a source for input flooding in written form. There are both grammatically correct and grammatically incorrect (marked clearly) examples in this grammar. The ability to compare the two is particularly helpful for learning which constructions are acceptable and which are not.
