Q

Utilisation de so/ either/ neither

A

“So” is used to agree with a positive point. (Therefore “so doesn’t” is not possible). “Either” or “neither” are used to disagree with a point. Example sentences: I like fish, so does my wife. I don’t like fish, neither does my wife. I don’t like fish and my wife doesn’t either.

34
Q

Sons voyelles et consonnes

A

The first syllable is pronounced like the word “you” and “y” is a consonant. Therefore we say: “an umbrella”. but “a university”. “a U.S. citizen”. “a UFO”. Also we say “a European” (“your” is the sound here). Conversely. we say “an MP” and “an MBA” because we pronounce the first syllable “em” with a vowel sound.

35
Q

Difference entre can et should : A wale… Weigh up 130 tonnes

A

“Can” suggests possibility. “Should” is used for giving advice.

36
Q

4- When we were kids we… for hours on end at the beach. > > Did play > Would play > Had played > Have played

A

“We would do something” is used to talk about a regular activity in the past (which is not done today). It describes a characteristic of a past time.It is translated by the imperfect in French. Examples: In those days we would go to church on Sunday mornings and then for a stroll after lunch. Before my uncle got married we would play golf every Saturday.

37
Q

5- “… Mary this morning ? I need to see her before noon.” > > Did you see > Have you seen.

A

It’s the present perfect because there is a link to the present. “This morning” is not finished yet - the clue’s in the second half of the sentence. You can only use the past simple “Did you see her this morning?” when it is no longer the morning.

38
Q

6- she went to university to study physics…. her brother became a chef > > Whereas. True > On the other hand

A

“whereas” (alors que) can link two parts of a sentence. “On the other hand” must begin a new sentence (or at least a new clause). Example: On the one hand he would like to study at a business school. On the other hand he doesn’t want to leave his home town.
