It’s sometimes necessary to go back to basic English grammar.

Et la grammaire se fait en français !

Je vous invite à choisir une leçon à partir du cours du professseur Dominique Vinet mis en ligne par l’Université Montesquieu de Bordeaux IV. Il s’agit de diaporamas sonorisés qui présentent les règles essentielles de la grammaire anglaise  et qui sont suivis d’exercises. Les lycéens qui ont besoin d’un retour aux bases pourront bénéficier d’un temps de révision !

Au travail !
