French grammar practice for clearer sentences

Start with the job of the word

Before editing a sentence, identify its nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs. These word-family guides keep the grammar attached to useful phrases.

• French-English Cognates in -tion: 12 Useful Nouns

  Learn nouns with their articles and combinations, then check the meaning in context.

• French -ique Cognates: Adjectives and Meaning Shifts

  Review adjective agreement and alternate meanings through familiar-looking words.

• French -ment Cognates: Adverbs, Nouns, False Friends

  Separate adverbs from nouns before choosing a word that resembles English.

Check agreement and the complete verb phrase

Move beyond the dictionary form: review the person or thing described, the feminine form when needed, and the verb’s preposition.

• French -eur and English -or: People and Gender

  Check person nouns, feminine forms and senses that do not refer to people.

• French -er Verb Cognates: Meaning and Prepositions

  Use a familiar-looking verb in a complete phrase, including its required preposition.

Connect and repair your sentences

Try the published before-and-after examples, then make the same kind of repair in your own writing.

Turn a correction into practice

1. Keep the original sentence and name the meaning you intended.
2. Choose one issue to repair. Use the matching guide instead of rewriting everything at once.
3. Explain why the corrected form works, then write a new sentence with the same pattern.
4. Check the pattern again in a later writing session. A correct copied example is a starting point, not proof of mastery.
