Grammar Exercises
Originally built for students at the University of Texas as a user-friendly guide to French grammar, this web site explains grammar items which are then exemplified in self-correcting, fill-in-the-blank exercises.
This free demo of grammar exercises offers over 300 grammar exercises ranging in difficulty (beginner to advanced). Le CyberProf de français website is an excellent tool for those taking French classes, or even for those who are looking to improve their written skills.
An important yet difficult part of the process of learning any foreign language is getting your head around the correct use of grammar, and French is no exception.
Each of the sections includes a short tutorial that simply explains one the rules of French grammar and comes with one or two quizzes to help you practice.
