Ex 16 / A little variety
Message de here4u posté le 24-09-2014 à 19:01:59 (S | E | F)
Hello, all of You !

Here is ‘Ex. 16: a little variety.’ The first 4 sentences are some ‘Rephrasing’ using some prompts whose nature is given (2 modals and 2 relatives in the 4 sentences, which means one for each sentence ! I'm not a torturer ! 😘.)In the fifth one, you’ll have to add prepositions or adverbs IF NECESSARY.
Finally, the last 6 sentences are pure translation.( Don't forget to stick to the text ....)
It's a exercise ; the correction will be given on October 8th, and you're allowed to change sentences till October 4th, included ! OK ?

1)2 modals : He didn’t give you the solution to that problem : that’s impossible !
2) : It wasn’t necessary for Pete to give her a reason for acting like that !
3)2 relatives : I met the writer. You’re reading his latest book.
4) : This is my friend Laura. I go to work in her car.
5)Complete : ‘He insisted .... coming and I couldn’t resist .... him. How can you account .... this accident ? - Would you please fill .... this form ? – Children are expected to obey .... their parents’requests. – I’m interested ..... what you’re saying, but I’m not responsible ..... this decision./7

6) Jusqu’à présent, tu n’avais pas besoin de me rendre la voiture avant les repas, alors que maintenant, tu le devras.
7) Elle me donne de moins en moins de renseignements, et je ne vais plus maintenant pouvoir m’en passer.
8) Nous nous arrêterons dès que tu seras fatiguée ; préviens-moi quand tu voudras que je te raccompagne à la maison.
9) Est-ce que ça le dérangerait si nous rattrapions cette séance d’ici une semaine ?
10) Plus tôt tu arrêteras cette relation destructrice, mieux ce sera pour tout le monde.
11) Je ne veux pas que tu lui donnes cette photo, à moins qu’elle t’en donne une d’elle !
12) Nous rentrons juste de Porto où nous avons loué une voiture comme nous l’avions fait l’année dernière.

Hello here4u,it's nice to see you again.

This is my try:

1) He might not have given you the solution to that problem: it can't be done!
2) Pete didn't need to give her a reason for acting like that!
3) I met the writer whom you are reading his latest book.
4) This is my friend Laura who I got to work with in her car.
5) He insisted on coming and I couldn't resist him.
How can you account for this accident?
Would you please fill in this form?
Children are expected to obey their parents'requests.
I'm iterested in what you are saying, but I'm not responsible for this decision.
6) Till now you didn't have to bring me back the car before the meals but now you will have to do it.
7) She gives me less and less informations and I am not being able now to do without it.
8) We will stop (or will have a rest)as soon as you are tired (or you feel tired);tell me when you want me to walk
you back home.
9) Would he mind ,if we made up this session by a week( or in a week from now)?
10) The earlier you give up with this destructive acquaintance, the better it will be for everybody (or for us).
11) I don't want you to give her this photo (or picture) unless she gives you one of hers!
12) We are just coming back from Porto where we have rent a car as we did it last year.

Thank you again for this exercise.

A T T E N T I O N !

J'ai reçu quelques demandes et questions ... Donc, je répète ... je ne suis pas tortionnaire et ne désire qu'un seul modal ou relatif par phrase ! De plus, plusieurs d'entre vous sont en vacances, d'autres un peu débordés ... donc, nous reculons notre correction au 8 Octobre et le moment où je commence à considérer vos phrases comme définitives au 04/10.
Certains demandent déjà la série suivante, mais je voudrais que le tout soit un peu mûri ! et si vous êtes certains que vos travaux sont parfaits, ce qui est sans doute vrai, vous pouvez me donner a second-best solution !

(hey, ! lakata ... mes oreilles sont plus jolies que les tiennes, non ? )

Hello here4u,
Je suis un peu en retard, désolé, mais j'ai eu un début d'année assez mouvementé
Voilà mon travail, en espérant ne pas avoir fait trop de fautes.
Bon dimanche,

1)2 modals : He didn’t give you the solution to that problem : that’s impossible !
He can’t have given you the solution to that problem : that’s impossible!

2) : It wasn’t necessary for Pete to give her a reason for acting like that !
Pete didn’t need to give her a reason for acting like that!

3)2 relatives : I met the writer. You’re reading his latest book.
I met the writer whose latest book you’re reading.

4) : This is my friend Laura. I go to work in her car.
This is my friend Laura, whose car I go to work in.

5)Complete : ‘He insisted on coming and I couldn’t resist ø him. How can you account for this accident ? - Would you please fill in this form ? – Children are expected to obey ø their parents’ requests. – I’m interested in what you’re saying, but I’m not responsible for this decision./7

6) Jusqu’à présent, tu n’avais pas besoin de me rendre la voiture avant les repas, alors que maintenant, tu le devras.
Until now, you haven’t had to give me back the car before meals, whereas from now on, you’ll have to.

7) Elle me donne de moins en moins de renseignements, et je ne vais plus maintenant pouvoir m’en passer.
She gives me less and less information, and I won’t be able to do without it.

8) Nous nous arrêterons dès que tu seras fatiguée ; préviens-moi quand tu voudras que je te raccompagne à la maison.
We’ll stop as soon as you are tired ; let me know when you want me to take you back home.

9) Est-ce que ça le dérangerait si nous rattrapions cette séance d’ici une semaine ?
Would he mind if we made up this session frow now to a week / within a week ?

10) Plus tôt tu arrêteras cette relation destructrice, mieux ce sera pour tout le monde.
The sooner you’ll stop this destructive/ravaging relationship, the better it will be for everybody.

11) Je ne veux pas que tu lui donnes cette photo, à moins qu’elle t’en donne une d’elle !
I don’t want you to give her this photograph, unless she gives you one of herself !

12) Nous rentrons juste de Porto où nous avons loué une voiture comme nous l’avions fait l’année dernière.
We’ve just been back from Porto, where we rent a car as we had done it last year

Hello
Sorry, it's late !

(Correction post atelier-théâtre ... avant, absorbée par mon latest test !)
Your essays were all very good, some of them even EXCELLENT(No! I'm not shouting ! I use capitals to show my admiration !)

1)He didn’t give you the solution to that problem : that’s impossible !
He can’t have given you the solution to that problem ! (That’s impossible !)
The value of the modal was given by the additional sentence (that didn’t really need to be repeated, but could) since you had expressed the notion at the beginning … Here, this idea was ‘impossibility’. How can you express ‘impossibility’ with a modal ? => with CAN’T, of course ! As the sentence was in the past, you needed ‘can’t have + past participle’


2) It wasn’t necessary for Pete to give her a reason for acting like that !
Peter didn’t have to/didn’t need to give her a reason for acting like that !
Absence of obligation = didn’t need to/ didn’t have to; ‘needn’t’ is impossible since we are in the past.


3) a relative : I met the writer. You’re reading his latest book.
I met the writer whose latest book you’re reading.
The book is the writer's possession, (masterpiece!). => ‘whose’ MIND THE CONSTRUCTION OF WHOSE ! ‘whose + objet possédé, sans determinant ‘!


4) This is my friend Laura. I go to work in her car.
This is my friend Laura whose car I go to work in.
The 2 cases were similar …(I go to work in Laura’s car !)

5)Complete : ‘He insisted …ON…coming and I couldn’t resist …0…him. How can you account…FOR.. this accident ? - Would you please fill …IN.. this form ? – Children are expected to obey 0 their parents’requests. – I’m interested …IN.. what you’re saying, but I’m not responsible FOR.this decision.7/7

6) Jusqu’à présent, tu n’avais pas besoin de me rendre la voiture avant les repas, alors que maintenant, tu le devras.
So far/ up to now, you didn’t need to give my car back before the meals but now, you’ll have to. (as there were two occurrences, I chose to use the 2 expressions). ‘needn’t’ couldn’t normally be used because the original sentence was in the past.

7) Elle me donne de moins en moins de renseignements, et je ne vais plus maintenant pouvoir m’en passer.
She gives me less and less information, and now, I’m no longer going to be able to do without it.
‘information’ is an uncountable => no plural, and ‘less and less’.

8) Nous nous arrêterons dès que tu seras fatiguée ; préviens-moi quand tu voudras que je te raccompagne à la maison.
We’ll stop as soon as you’re tired. Tell me when you want me to take you home.
Here, 2 examples of the use of the present/preterite after temporal conjunctions. (‘as soon as’ and ‘when’)

9) Est-ce que ça le dérangerait si nous rattrapions cette séance d’ici une semaine ?
Would he mind if we caught up on this session within a week … (to catch up with someone on something) I feel that ‘make up for’is more ‘moral … (‘make up for an offense’ )but it may be my feeling ...

10) Plus tôt tu arrêteras cette relation destructrice, mieux ce sera pour tout le monde.
The sooner you stop (break up) this destructive relationship (affair), the better it will be for everyone …
(A parallel progression with a short adjective (soon+er) and an irregular one (good=> better)Pay attention to the place of the verb in the second part of the clause.

11) Je ne veux pas que tu lui donnes cette photo, à moins qu’elle t’en donne une d’elle !
I don’t want you to give him this photo (mere infinitive clause) unless she gives you one of her(s).

12) Nous rentrons juste de Porto où nous avons loué une voiture comme nous l’avions fait l’année dernière.
We’re just back from Porto where we have rented a car as we did last year/ as we had done the year before.
Immediate past = ‘we’re just back; ‘we have rented = present perfect illustrating the result of an action) last year, next year = discours direct = “we did last year”= si on repousse le passé = ‘we had done the year before’

Thanks again to all of you for your effort, your very good work … and taking pleasure in letting me torture you ! Take care !

COUCOU !

Je ne savais même pas que sur ordi, les majuscules signifiaient des cris ! Des fois, ça me semble nécessaire d'en mettre ...
MERCI de vos mercis et beaux dessins et de tous vos mps !
