Bescherelle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Bescherelle is a French language reference book providing verb conjugations. It is named after the 19th century French lexographer and grammarian Louis-Nicolas Bescherelle. It is often used as a general term, though it is in fact a brand name. The series is made up of three volumes dealing with various aspects of French grammar. The term Bescherelle is usually used to refer to the first book, L'art de conjuguer. The most recent versions contain 12,000 verbs.

Bescherelles are commonly used in French immersion schools and it is often required that students purchase one for class.

Bescherelles also exist for German, English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic and Latin, although they do not have the popularity of the original French.
