SALUT!  Welcome to OH, LÀ LÀ! Intermediate French Tutoring!
This session/ these sessions will be tailored to your goals/ needs.  You can expect to find help toward the mastery of topics covered in French 3 or French 4.

 The COMMUNICATIVE METHOD (Reading, Writing, Speaking, Listening) is used.   Instruction given in English & French.
  
I use the metaphor of a symphony ORCHESTRA to explain the six major Parts of Speech, and how they function ‘in concert’:  Articles, Nouns (& Pronouns), Adjectives, Verbs, Adverbs, and Prepositions.

Here are the GRAMMAR Topics covered in this tutorial:

◊  ARTICLES: Partitive Articles

◊  VERBS:  1. TENSES:  Perfect Past (le passé composé); Imperfect Past (l’imparfait); Pluperfect Past (le plus-que-parfait); Simple/ Historical Past (le passé simple); Near Future (le futur proche); Simple Future (le future simple); Present and Past Conditional (le conditionnel).  2.  MOODS:  Indicative; Interrogative (forms & use); Imperative (forms & use); Subjunctive (forms & use).  3.  Reflexive Verbs (forms & use).  4.  Savoir vs. Connaître.   5.  The Passive Voice.  6.  Impersonal Expressions.  7.  More Irregular Verbs (present tense).

◊  ADVERBS:  Expressions of Time
