Good news! We have updated our writing tools. Clefs du français pratique and Le guide du rédacteur have been combined to create a new tool called Clés de la rédaction.
Don’t forget to update your bookmarks. Within a few weeks, Clefs du français pratique will no longer be available.
The tool Clefs du français pratique deals with the problems of grammar, syntax and usage that confront anyone who is called upon to write in French. Rules are briefly stated and accompanied by clear examples relating to the Canadian context.
Clefs du français pratique is updated on a regular basis.
Linguistic recommendations and reminders are now in Clefs du français pratique.
The Linguistic recommendations propose solutions to contentious language issues. They help standardize elements such as vocabulary, spelling and usage in texts produced by the Government of Canada.
