The Francophone Collective releases The No-Nonsense Workbook of French Verb Conjugation Drills
The Francophone Collective has released a new must‑have resource for French learners: The No‑Nonsense Workbook of French Verb Conjugation Drills for A1 learners. This practical, results‑driven workbook is designed to help learners master French verbs at their very foundations through clear explanations, systematic practice, and real‑world examples.
It joins the publishing house's growing catalogue of books like the flagship Essential French Grammar Explained in English series and fiction titles in drawing French learners into a universe created to foster a love and passion for the French language.
Learners can expect 16 chapters of drills, practice questions and mini stories covering the most important basic tenses: présent, futur proche and passé composé each further broken down into verbs that end with -ER, -IR and -RE as well as reflexive and irregular verbs. An answer key is provided at the back, offering over 180 pages of content created to instil confidence through thoughtful repetition.
A practical approach to learning French verbs
Whether you’re a beginner struggling with parler and finir, or an intermediate learner tackling irregular verbs like être and avoir as a foundation, this French conjugation workbook offers structured drills that reinforce correct forms until they become second nature.
Organised by CEFR level, the workbook covers:
- Regular and irregular verbs in essential tenses
- Step‑by‑step explanations of conjugation rules
- Hundreds of French verb conjugation exercises with real‑life contexts
- Practice sections that prepare learners for conversation, writing, and exams
Clear, concise, and built for real progress
Unlike other resources that overwhelm learners with unnecessary detail, The No‑Nonsense Workbook of French Verb Conjugation Drills (A1 Beginner) focuses on what truly matters — accuracy, repetition, and application. The clean layout makes it easy to follow, while carefully graded exercises allow you to progress confidently at your own pace.
Studies in French-speaking education reveal that drills — structured, repetitive practice — can strengthen learning. The Centre collégial de développement de matériel didactique explains that drills build habits that help make written and even spoken language second nature. A 2022 study published in academic journal ScienceDirect also found that actively retrieving French vocabulary through testing or recall drills produced stronger memory retention than passive study in bilingual students.
Availability
The No‑Nonsense Workbook of French Verb Conjugation Drills is available worldwide on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats. A hardcover version is slated for release in September 2025 alongside the A2 level progression.
