Synopsis
Excerpt from French Idioms and Proverbs: A Companion to Deshumbert's Dictionary of Difficulties
I have placed an asterisk before all recognised pro verbs these will serve as a first course for those students who do not wish to read through the whole book at Once. In a few cases I have added explanations of English pro verbs during the eleven years I have been using the book I have frequently found that pupils were, for instance, as ignorant of to bell the cat as they were of attacher le grelot.
