ENGLISH-FRENCH EXERCISES

Note. — ^All words and idioms used in the exercises will be found in the assigned text or in the notes. Pupils may use a grammar in preparing them but never a dictionary. Words in brackets may be omitted in French; words in parenthèses are to be used. ''You*' should always be translated by vous; avoid the second singular tu^ which foreigners do not need to use.
