Exercice 3 :
Last week, as usual, Heritage Day was a big day of celebrations and a lot of people joined the festivities. I had a lot of fun. All the women put on traditional outfits and danced to traditional music. Everybody laughed and clapped as the dancing became jovial. We also ate traditional food like monopane worms and sang songs. And there were different games and competitions. My sister and her friends won the Zulu dance competition.
Explications :
Le prétérit est un temps du passé qui peut se traduire par le passé simple ou le passé composé en français.
Pour les verbes réguliers, on prend le radical et on rajoute -ed : join devient joined.
Au besoin, on peut doubler la consonne finale des verbes réguliers : clap devient clapped.
Pour les verbes irréguliers, il faut apprendre leurs formes particulières : win devient won.
J'espère t'avoir aidé. Bon courage !
