This book is an intensive lexical builder for the most important French verbs (and their prepositions). Notably, the verbs are embedded in sentences, thereby appealing to both short-term and long term memory and ensuring rapid and stable memorization. This lexical builder is addressed mainly to beginner learners; however, intermediate learners could also profit from it, since the sentences are lexically rich and care has been taken to highlight numerous idiomatic expressions in which the common verbs take part, as well as their informal uses. After the lexical builder, readers can further exercise their knowledge of verbs with two short stories by Guy de Maupassant - 'The Legion of Honour'/' D?cor?' and 'Two Friends'/' Deux Amis'- published in 1883 and translated in English in 1903 by Albert M.C. McMaster. The stories are presented in a bilingual, juxta-paragraph translation - French sentences or phrases are immediately followed by translation. Both Maupassant's stories and their English translation, are now public domain.
