Explications : Pour l’exercice 5 il faut bien faire attention aux accords. Pour la phrase 3 on utilise le présent continu et le présent ‘is missing’ et ‘is’. Quand on utilise may ou must on n’accorde pas.
Pour l’exercice 6 il faut aussi faire attention aux accords. Pour la 1, on sait que you s’accorde avec were. et was avec ‘the victim’ parce qu’on peut remplacer par he or she.
