Bonjour,
Réponse :
Do you remember Michael who used TO live next door to me ?( He COULD do amazing tricks! ) Well, he called me last week BECAUSE he’s having a party and wants to invite all of his old friends.The problem is that he can’t find everyone’s phone number and asked IF I could help.I’m really pleased though because I HAVE been able to find nearly everyone’s number and the party’s going to be on the 17th of next month, so make sure you CAN come! By the way, COULD you tell Sarah that I’d love to meet up but I won’t be ABLE to make it before the 20th
Explications :
used to : utilisé pour exprimer une habitude dans le passé
he could do : il pouvait faire ( passé de "can" )
he called me because : il m'a appelé parce qu'
asked if I could : a demandé si je pouvais
I have been able : présent perfect ( have + participe passé )
can : auxiliaire ( pouvoir )
could you tell : auxiliaire utilisé ici pour faire une demande polie
I won't be able to : to be able to ( équivalent de can utilisé au futur -puisque "can" ne se met pas au futur )
