To anyone who has encountered the Grammar Geek, the answer is a resounding well, of course it can! Denis Lacroix is a student from Quebec who is working for the summer as a waiter at the Banff Springs Hotel in the Rocky Mountains. Paul Syme is an English linguistics professor who engages Denis in a conversation about language while relaxing in the hotel's lounge one afternoon. Through a series of daily lessons, Denis learns from Mr. Syme, a.k.a. the Grammar Geek, how to become more accurate in the following areas: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe past, present, future, and perfect verb forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe modals can, could, may, might, must, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjectives, adverbs and word order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNouns and pronouns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Genitive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeterminers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrepositions and phrasal verbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConditionals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive and passive voice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSentence structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than present grammar in a dull and flavorless way, the Geek shows Denis the path to grammatical wisdom with meaningful examples and relevant comparisons to French. Through their conversations, Denis is exposed to the mistakes that Francophones tend to make and the reasons underlying these mistakes. He also realizes that when grammar is taught in an understandable and humorous manner, learning it can be rewarding and actually fun - yes ... fun! Included in the book is a variety of practice exercises including gap-fill, multiple choice, translation and contextualization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 16, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53212928049459,"sku":"9782897990039","price":42.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/rw3OLtTQWR9782897990039.webp?v=1775688097","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-grammar-geek-an-english-grammar-book-for-french-speakers-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
