Reformulations 7/Thème
Message de here4u posté le 13-06-2014 à 11:20:27 (S | E | F)
Hello

As promised, here's a new exercise for you all to train hard or have fun ...
It isn't difficult, this time ... Hardly
Once again, the first part consists in 'Rewriting the sentences using the prompt, and keeping the meaning'. The other part is a simple translation from French into English ...

1) If he doesn’t slow down, he’ll have a heart attack !
Unless
2) Why don’t you ask him to take you to the airport?
Why
3) As soon as he left, they all started applauding !
No sooner
4):'I’ll have her prosecuted for this event !'
He exclaimed that
5) I do make every effort in Maths, but my teacher pretends not to realize it !
Although

6) Ils sont devenus amis tout de suite et depuis ce temps, ils sont toujours restés en contact !
7) Je crains qu’il ne vienne casser toutes les vitres de la maison … Il est fou !
8) « Depuis combien de temps as-tu arrêté de fumer ? » « Une semaine ! Maintenant, je regrette de ne pas l’avoir fait plus tôt ! »
9) Tu n’avais pas besoin de t’excuser … Elle avait vraiment exagéré !
10) Dès que le téléphone sonnera, elle se précipitera pour répondre… C’est ce qu’elle fait à chaque fois !

I'll give the correction on June 23rd ! OK ? Work well !

Hello here4u , and thank you for this new exercise que je me suis parfois plu à bricoler quelque peu...risking finding myself in the corner!

1) If he doesn't slow down, he'll have a heart attack.
Unless he slows down, he'll have a heart attack.

2) Why don't you ask him to take you to the airport?
Why not ask him to take you to the airport?

3) As soon as he left, they all started applauding!

8) "Depuis combien de temps as-tu arrêté de fumer ?"- "Une semaine".
As the heavy smocker I used to be, I'd say :
Either : "When did you give up smocking?" - "A week ago and I wish I had done it before!"
Or : " How long haven't you smocked?" - " One week (already!)."

9) Tu n'avais pas besoin de t'excuser...Elle avait vraiment exagéré !
You didn't have to apologize...She had really gone too far!

Whatever the cost, I'm bravely waiting for your verdict, dear here4u.

4 – He exclaimed that he wanted her prosecuted for that event!
5 – Although I’m really making every effort in maths, my teacher pretends not to notice it.

I am terribly sorry to bother you with that innocuous piece of information but you shouldn't have cut that Englishman's roses in his lovely garden to make yourself a free bunch of roses(à prononcer sans reprendre son souffle: vous êtes alors prêts pour le club d'apnée...): I am afraid he will come and smash all the window panes in your house.

Hello, all of you, 'hard-learners' !
Here's the moment you were all expecting ! You should have received your individual suggestions by now and I thank you for your mps in return ...
So here is what I expected ...

1)If he doesn’t slow down, he’ll have a heart attack !
Unless he slows down, he’ll have a heart attack. (Unless + présent – ne pas oublier le –s de la 3è personne au présent simple-)

2) Why don’t you ask him to take you to the airport?
Why not ask him to take you to the airport ? (déjà vu dans un exercice précédent… Repris, parce que, je ne sais trop pourquoi, les Français ont tendance à faire suivre ‘Why (not)’ d’un infinitive complet ou une forme en –ing … )
What about asking him to take you to the airport ? was good too !(mais ne commençait pas par l'amorce demandée ...)

3) As soon as he left, they all started applauding !
No sooner did he leave than they all started applauding.
ATTENTION ! le temps est un prétérit negatif . Vous gardez donc le prétérit et vous faites l’inversion du sujet indispensable après ’No sooner ’ qui est bien suivi de 'thaN' et non de 'that'. L'expression est le plus souvent employée avec le past perfect, mais on la trouve aussi beaucoup avec du prétérit, du présent simple et du futur.(cf COCA)

4)‘I’ll have her prosecuted for this event ! ‘
He exclaimed that he would have her prosecuted for that event. Simple ‘Reported Speech’. Point d’exclamation final => verbe introductif =’he exclaimed’; futur => conditionnel; ‘this’ (proche), s’éloigne au RS => ‘that’.

5)‘I do make effort in Maths, but my teacher pretends not to realize it !
Although I make effort in Maths. My teacher pretends not to realize it.
Le do est emphatique . Emploi simple de ‘Although’ = bien que ; to pretend = faire semblant.
OxfordLD : effort :1 [uncountable, countable] the physical or mental energy that you need to do something; something that takes a lot of energy.You should put more effort into your work.
and Maths did take me a lot of energy …!

6)Ils sont devenus amis tout de suite et depuis alors, ils sont toujours restés en contact !
They have become(= bilan d’une action)/became(si l’on considère que l’action de devenir est bien révolue …) friends right away … and they have kept in touch ever since/since then. (l’action a un retentissement sur le présent !)

7)Je crains qu’il ne vienne casser toutes les vitres de la maison … Il est fou !
I fear he might come and break all the panes in the house. He’s mad …(I fear + might : = reprise d’une expression vue dans un exercice précédent qui avait eu un 'succès relatif'.

8) « Depuis combien de temps as-tu arrêté de fumer ? » « Une semaine ! Maintenant, je regrette de ne pas l’avoir fait plus tôt ! »
How long ago did you stop smoking ? One week (ago). ! Now, I wish I had done it before … Comme l’action 'd'arrêter' est terminée (‘to stop smoking’) employer 'How long (durée) + ago'. Le regret avec 'I wish + past perfect' = ré emploi d’un exercice précédent)

9) Tu n’avais pas besoin de t’excuser … Elle avait vraiment exagéré !
You didn’t have/didn’t need to apologize. She really went too far !
You needn't have apologized... (et toute la gamme déclinée par gerondif) est/sont excellent(s), bien sûr!

10) Dès que le téléphone sonnera, elle se précipitera pour répondre … C’est ce qu’elle fait à chaque fois !
As soon as/ Whenever the phone rings, she’ll rush to answer it … That’s what she keeps doing/she does everytime ! 'As soon as' et autres conjonctions de subordination temporelles + présent (ou prétérit) -jamais ni futur, ni conditionnel. Voir leçon!)

Bravo à tous, et merci d'avoir travaillé avec moi ! Vous en redemandez ! Ne vous inquiétez pas !... vous en aurez !) Bonne soirée à tous.

Dans un souci de sobriété, j'ai dégotté un néologisme qui devrait à lui seul suffire à traduire mon accord avec le post de lucile : je plussoie !
