Understanding Tenses
Is there a section where I can get some rules on use of tenses - J'avais, Je voudrais Je fera.... etc. Just for a point of reference really as to the contexts.
I am just beginner and as I see French's gramer is really difficult.How can I get it easy ?Especially tenses are really confusing.
Get a good French Grammar book; start at the beginning; study it! Important things to look for might be:
1. logical organization of materials, clearly expressed rules/ principles
2. lots of well designed tables showing conjugations, declensions, etc.
3. Lots and lots of example sentences illustrating the specific concept presented
4. Some sort of CD or online with sound files, such that the example sentences can be heard, and then saved to your iPod as .mp3 files for later review.
I like Harrap's "Sound Review of French Grammar" for the above reasons. A precaution here is that if you find a used version of this somewhere, the online access code had probably already been linked to the original owner's email, and will be of no use to you. I was lucky to find a new copy at Half Price Books for about $6 Try Amazon.dot.com.
