The program is designed for learners who need to improve performance through daily practice of half an hour to one hour, emphasizing error-spotting and correction on key grammar points, deliberate improvement of French style, and expansion of adventurous vocabulary while avoiding Anglicisms. The structure alternates grammar days with style or vocabulary focus to sustain concentration.","This page intentionally left blank  \nUpgrade your French  \nSecond Edition  \nMargaret Jubb  \nUNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN  \nFirst published in Great Britain in 2002 by Hodder Arnold, This second edition published in 2007 by Hodder Education,  \na member of the Hachette Livre UK Group, 338 Euston Road, London NW1 3BH.  \n[www.hoddereducation.co.uk](www.hoddereducation.co.uk)[ ](www.hoddereducation.co.uk)© 2007 Margaret Jubb  \nAll rights reserved.

I am also indebted to my students in the French Department at Aberdeen University, who have worked through my material in its various drafts and have helped to make it more user-friendly. Last, but by no means least, I should like to thank Jennifer Bellanger and Isabelle Gourdin for the care with which they have checked the whole text, and John Roach for his help in resolving a number of troublesome queries. For any remaining inaccuracies and infelicities, I am of course entirely responsible.  \nFor the second edition of this book, my thanks are due to Bianca Knights and Tamsin Smith at Hodder for editorial support and advice. I am also grateful to Roger Ravet and Sophie Watt at the University of Aberdeen for their careful reading of the new material.  \nMargaret Jubb  \nThe","cbCaisDoofs36NQd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisDoofs36NQd","pdf",1546923,1,223,"English","en",105,"# Contents\n## Introduction\n## Day 1: Agreement of verb and subject\n## Day 2: Reporting speech\n## Day 3: The present tense\n## Day 4: Statistics and numbers\n## Day 5: Adjective agreements\n## Day 6: Comparatives and superlatives\n## Day 7: Alternatives to adverbs\n## Day 8: Use of articles\n## Day 9: Quantifiers\n## Day 10: Use of tenses with si\n## Day 11: False friends and Anglicized spelling\n## Day 12: Past tenses\n## Day 13: Expressions of time\n## Day 14: Agreement of past participles\n## Day 15: Pronominal verbs\n## Day 16: The passive\n## Day 17: Alternatives to the passive\n## Day 18: Personal pronouns\n## Day 19: The negative\n## Day 20: Inversion of subject and verb\n## Day 21: Relative pronouns\n## Day 22: The infinitive and present participle\n## Day 23: Logical connectors\n## Day 24: Modal verbs\n## Day 25: Sentence openings\n## Day 26: Conjunctions\n## Day 27: Highlighting and emphasis\n## Day 28: Verb constructions\n## Day 29: Accents, elision and capitalization\n## Day 30: Test: Key points\n## Progress Chart\n## Answers to Exercises\n## Bibliography\n## Index","[{\"question\":\"Who is the book aimed at?\",\"answer\":\"The course targets students across degree programme years who need to improve exam performance.
