Hello all of You !

Well thought maxwell ! If you could edit your original message, it would be great for me ... (it would help when I started the individual mps ...) Have no scruples to edit your messages till the moment when I announce the beginning of the suggestions sent to you ... !
We're working here to improve our English ... no competition ! There's more in several brains than in one ...
Have a good sunny day !



Réponse: Reformulations 8/exercice de maxwell, postée le 26-06-2014 à 21:51:09 (S | E)
Well, if that's what you're referring to, I made a big careless mistake in the third sentence, that jumped right out at me when I read it over : It reminded me of one of your latest quizzes, and I immediately corrected myself :
"He told her not to run so fast, since she was too late, and suggested that she come again tomorrow morning".
In reported speech, "Tomorrow morning" should be replaced either by "the next morning" or by "the following morning" or by "the morning after" if I'm right.

You're quite right ! You gave us those tips in your exercice "Reformulations 5" rather than in a quiz.
I wasn't that far off, was I ?



Réponse: Reformulations 8/exercice de here4u, postée le 27-06-2014 à 22:52:11 (S | E)
You weren't far at all ! Anyway, you're so hard-working that I wasn't surprised you had already had a look at that test (knowing that the tests are 'green' and available while they're not out yet ... and I've just finished one about the 'difficulties' of The Reported Speech.')

Have women always been discrimated against or have they been done "fairly" by the superior sex ? ( to be taken with a pinch of salt!)

* Pour tous ceux qui se seront fait avoir sur "c'est la première fois que",
la prochaine fois, pensez à une action sur une échelle allant de jamais à souvent, toujours:
He has never worked in London.
--------------------------------(chaînon manquant)
He has already worked in London.
He has often worked in London.
He has always worked in London.
Là, le present perfect paraît évident: Il a déjà travaillé à Londres.
Eh bien, pensez que,avant ce déjà, il y a eu, entre jamais et déjà, une première fois et que ça marche avec le même temps:
It is the first time he has worked in London.
En effet, si on pense en français, la tentation est forte de mettre un présent.

Hello here4u

Désolée mais pleine de bonne volonté j'avais copié ton exercice dans un doc qui en est toujours au même point depuis le 23 juin...c'est ça la retraite! Il va falloir que je reste un peu chez moi quand même
Je lirai ton corrigé...et j'essaierai de faire le prochain si tu en postes un.
Bye for now

Don't worry !
J'allais annoncer que je venais de poster le dernier corrigé ... mais il n'est pas trop tard s'il y a d'autres volontaires ...
Bien sûr que j'en mettrai un autre ... (demain ? sans doute ... ) mais j'ai prévenu que ce serait du thème (grammatical, toujours ...)
Comme vous trouvez tous que les Rephrasings vous aident, j'en remettrai la prochaine fois ! C'est promis !
Bonne fin de soirée ...



Réponse: Reformulations 8/exercice de here4u, postée le 02-07-2014 à 18:36:38 (S | E)
Hello !

Pas trop libre plus tard ... vous aurez donc : 'an early post' ...
Bravo à tous ... Encore plus à certains que je vois progresser de test en test ... C'est un vrai bonheur, et tout le crédit vous en revient, bien sûr, et je vous ...

1)You’ve got to make a decision now !
It’s time you made a decision now. It’s time … j’aime bien mettre l’irréel derrière, donc, le preterit modal qui indique que l’action n’a pas encore eu lieu, n’a pas été réalisée et est du domaine du rêve.…
It’s time for you to make a decision now. Ca marche aussi. (gerondif semblait préférer cette forme, mais rien que pour me contredire, il m’a donné l’irréel de mes rêves ! )

2)They most certainly heard the burglar break into their house.
They must have heard the burglar break into their house.'Quasi-certitude passée' : must+have+ participe passé’
3)He said to her : 'Don’t run so fast !Now, you’re late ! You’ll come again tomorrow morning !'
He told her not to run so fast. He added that at that moment (or then) she was late('already'est une bonne idée!) and would come again the following morning (or the morning after.Passage du discours direct au discours indirect : l’Impératif négatif devient infinitif négatif. ‘Now’ devient ‘at the moment’ ou ‘then’, le présent devient prétérit, le futur devient conditionnel. ‘Demain matin’ => 'le lendemain matin'. Si vous hésitez sur ces transformations voir leçon 105301.
4)I’d like someone to teach my son how to read and write and give him some homework to do!
I’d like my son to be taught how to read and write and (to be) given some homework to do (or to be done).
Succession de passifs (attention aux verbes irréguliers !) Je sais, cette phrase est très démodée … quasi 'politiquement incorrecte', mais, c'est la mienne ! … Sorry !

5)Have men always discriminated against women ?
... women ....? (omettre l'agent !)
Have women always been discriminated against ? (verbe à particule : au passif, il y a conservation de la particule qui reste ‘attachée’ au verbe. C’est vrai pour tous les verbes à particules. Elles sont souvent oubliées au passif …

6)She seems to be used to speaking in public …
It’s certainly not the first time she has spoken in public. 'It’s the first time + present perfect.' (cf la leçon magistrale du ‘maillon manquant’ qui j’ignorais … donnée par Maître gerondif ! Grand merci à lui ! (bien qu’il me fasse faire la classe à des chiens bigleux …

7)If you go to bed early, you sleep better …
The earlier you go to bed, the better you sleep. (progression parallèle. Attention à bien rejeter le verbe en fin de 2è proposition !)

8)Pamela's parents don’t like her boyfriend to take her out at night.
(disapprove)Pamela’s parents disapprove of her boyfriend’s taking her out at night. Là, je suis plus royaliste que la Reine, et ai choisi un gérondif, un vrai, celui que les élèves oublient toujours, derrière un nom commun ou propre.

9)It may sound incredible, but Jim can’t ride a bicycle !
However incredible it may sound, Jim can’t ride a bicycle. ‘However + adjectif ‘ déjà vu .
= No matter how incredible it may sound, Jim can’t ride a bicycle : idem pour ‘No matter how + adjectif’ = Aussi incroyable que …

10) He can’t stay here ! I object to it !
I object to his staying here. To object to => + -ing ; ici gérondif
Sera également accepté (et plus courant aux US surtout) : I object to him staying here. : ici = participe présent.

J’ai été très contente de constater que vous passiez allègrement les obstacles … Vu côté correcteur, je n’ai pas eu l’impression de difficultés particulières à surmonter …
Je vous remercie d’avoir travaillé avec moi, et de tous les petits mots que vous m’avez envoyés après les corrections (mais ils ne sont pas nécessaires ! ) Merci à vous !

Hello Here4u,

for this exercise and your correction. Thank you also to remind us where we can find those different points of grammar on the site. It's not so easy to find one of them without references...
