Language teachers say one has to work on both "fluency" and "accuracy" in a foreign language and that most learners are better at one than the other... which means you have to work hardest at the one you are least good at :-( Although I have never had any trouble speaking French, writing is something else again. After 48 years, including 40 married to a Frenchman, almost 40 spent living in France and 30 as a translator, I am still not comfortable with written French. For those of you out there who are like me, here's a super-duper site I just happened onto. http://www.leconjugueur.com/frconjonline.php The author also sells a modestly-priced downloadable version that enables the user to work offline.
I happened onto this when typing the sentence "Je ne me suis pas relu/relue" in an email and was wondering whether or not to faire l'accord. Le conjugueur not only has a complete conjugation of the verb "relire", but also of "se relire", "se relire" + negative, "se relire" + question, "se relire" + negative + question, and for both men and women speakers...
New, updated, list coming out soon.
