the Good use (known as “Grevisse”) is since a descriptive Grammaire French, published for the first time in 1936 by Maurice Grevisse, and periodically updated. It relates to the Usage of the French language.
In 1936, the first edition leaves the presses of the edition Duculot. A new edition leaves in 1939 then in 1946. Grammar obtains the gold medal of the French Academy. Eulogistic criticism that makes of it André Gide in the literary supplement of the Figaro in February 1947 contributes to its success.
After the death of Grevisse in 1980, his/her son-in-law Andre Goosse, grammairien also, took its succession to him and makes appear 12th, 13th (1993) and finally the 14th edition (into force), published in August 2007 in an entirely renewed format. The Good use is now available in electronic version.
