Bonjour à tous :
L'auxiliaire "used to" sert à marquer le caractère révolu d'une action ou la répétition d'une action dans passé).
ex :He used to smoke cigars (maintenant il n'en fume plus)
"Would" peut également exprimer la répétition dans le passé sans marquer le caractère révolu de l'action et également introduire une idée d'obstination
ex : He would always make the same mistakes
La répétition dans le présent s'exprime par l'emploi d'un présent simple
ex : I get up at seven : je me lève (tous les jours) à 7 heures
La répétition fréquente peut s'exprimer par une forme progressive accompagnée de "always", "for", "ever"..ou avec "keep + participe présent"
Quelques phrases à traduire : corrigé dimanche 18 février - bon courage
1 - C'est ici que j'habitais quand j'étais enfant
2 - Ils vont au cinéma tous les samedis
3 - Elle disait que les hommes sont des lâches
4 - Il ne se met plus en colère aussi souvent qu'avant
5 - Il ne parle plus anglais aussi couramment qu'auparavant
6 - L'Empire State Building était dans le temps le plus haut gratte-ciel du
monde
7 - Tous les ans nous écoutions le message de la reine
8 - Tous les dimanches nous achetons l'Observer
9 - Il faut toujours qu'il oublie de signer les chèques !
10 - Il faut toujours que le téléphone sonne quand je prends mon bain

Hello maya13!

3 - She would say men are cowards.
She was always saying men are cowards / She kept saying.... (mais j'ai un doute, et je préfère la phrase précédente...)
4 - He doesn't get angry as often as he used to.
5 - He doesn't speak English as fluently as he used to.
6 - In its day, the Empire State Building was the highest skyscraper in the world. / In those days. ( évident que maintenant, il n'est plus le plus haut!)
7 - Every year, we would listen to the Queen's speech. (question de routine & habitude, mais "used to" si maintenant on ne l'écoute jamais plus)
8 - We buy the Observer every Sunday.
9 - He keeps forgetting to sign his cheques! / He always forgets ...
10 - The phone always rings when I am having a bath.
(J'ai eu envie de mettre: “is always ringing”, afin de suivre l'indication donnée dans ton introduction, pour la répétition fréquente, mais...)
Interesting exercise! Thanks!

Bonjour à tous et merci d'avoir répondu à mon premier exercice sur le forum. C 'est encourageant !
L'auxiliaire "to be used to" n'existe que sous cette forme du passé. Il sert à indiquer qu'une action qui était habituelle ne l'est plus :
ex : You used to be his friend ? Yes, I used to (mais il ne l'est plus)
"Would" qui s'utilise également pour marquer la forme fréquentative n'insiste pas sur révolu de l'action et peut ajouter une idée d'obstination :
ex : Grannie would tell us stories before we went to bed
Au présent la forme fréquentative est marquée par un présent simple.
"Will" peut s'employer pour indiquer la répétition ou l'habitude, plusieurs proverbes sont construits ainsi :
ex : When the cat is away, the mice will play
1 - This is where I used to live when I was a child
2 - They go to the cinema every Saturday
3 - She would say that all men are cowards (keeps saying)
4 - He doesn't lose his temper as often as he used to (do)
5 - He doesn't speak English as fluently as he used to
6 - The Empire State Building used to be the highest skyscraper in the world
7 - Every year we would (used to)listen to the Queen's Christmas message
8 - Every Sunday we buy the Observer
9 - He keeps forgetting (he will forget) to sign his cheques
10 - The phone always rings (keeps ringing) when I 'm having my bath
Thank you all - See you
