Bonjour,

Petite remarque préliminaire : "Bonjour à tous", même avec plusieurs points d'exclamation, n'est pas un titre très évocateur pour un forum consacré à l'anglais.
A vrai dire, il n'incite guère à ouvrir le post.
Penses-y à l'avenir, c'est dans ton intérêt.

I Traduction :

1.He KEPT asking me questions about my stay in China.
2.The poor fellow must FEEL very LONELY in this large house.(Il ne se renifle pas voyons ! )
3.After each visit TO her sister, she complained about THE time (that) she had lost there.
4.What a patience it is necessary to have to sew all (0) day LONG!
5.He could no LONGER go to the cinema three times per week/a week.
6.One day my father decided that I was OLD enough to go downtown all alone.
7.As prisoners of war, you have the right to be treated humanly. OK
8.He could have succeeded if he had really wanted. OK

II Complétez les phrases avec l’un des verbes ci-dessous :

Try ; steal ; meet ; look ; write ; make ; be knocked ; wash ; play ; eat ; splash ; go ; drive ; take .

1.Do you fancy playING tennis this afternoon?
2.Could you please stop (0) makING so much noise?
3.I don’t enjoy writING Letters.
4.Does your job involve MEETING a lot of people?
5.I considered (0) takING the job but in the end I decided against it.
6.If you use the shower, try and avoid splashing water on the floor. OK
7.Jack gave up tryING to find a job a Britain and decided to emigrate.
8.Have you finished washING your hair yet?
9.The phone rang while Ann was having her dinner. She didn’t answer it ; she just carried on eating. OK
10.He admitted stealing the car but denied driving it dangerously. OK.
11.Why do you keep on looking at me like that ? OK
12.They had to postpone GOING away because their son was ill.
13.If you walk into the road without looking, you risk beING knocked down by a car.
=> Il semble que tu sois fâché avec l'emploi du gérondif !

III Ecrivez une phrase du même sens que la précédente en commençant de la manière indiquée :

1.I don’t want you to go out this evening.
- I don’t fancy (0) you goING out this evening.

2.Are you sorry you didn’t take the job?
- Do you regret NOT to have TAKEN this job?

3.Why don’t you go away tomorrow instead of today?
- Why don’t you put off THE TRIP until TOMORROW? (Put off = reporter/remettre à plus tard)

4.It’s not a good idea to travel during the rush-hour.
- It’s better to avoid TRAVELLING DURING the rush hour.

5.Could you turn the radio down, please ?
- Would you mind TURNING DOWN the radio please?

=> Des révisions s'imposent même si ce n'est pas si mal !
