Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I'd be grateful if anyone could help me out. I'm currently learning French at a night class and am having difficulty formulating sentences from all the lists of vocab and verbs that I have learnt. Therefore, I'm looking for a book with English sentences that the reader has to translate into french. I realise I could do this with any English text I find but I'd prefer a book with answers and some explanation. Any ideas? Many thanks Thom 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes I have such a book. "difficultés expliquées du français... for English speakers" published by CLE International.
It is intended for native English speakers learning French at the intermediate to advanced level and contains 46 short chapters covering all grammar topics. Each chapter has translation exercises like you seek with explanations but the answer book is sold separately.

This series: http://www.amazon.ca/Practice-Makes-Perfect-French-Tenses/dp /0071478949
tends to be very fill-in-the-blank, translate from French to English and from English to French oriented. It's a workbook as well, so you can write in it and then look your answers up in the back. By the end of the chapter they give you a paragraph and you have to translate the whole thing. My only qualm with them is that I found a couple of mistakes in the Italian one, but it was written by a different person, obviously. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
