    Playing with words /36
    Message de here4u posté le 05-10-2022 à 11:18:29 (S | E | F)
    Hello dear Friends!

    Voici votre nouveau challenge ! "Playing and working with words"... La date limite pour cet exercice est fin octobre 2022.

    Je vous rappelle que cet exercice a des règles qui doivent être respectées. Lisez-les bien si vous ne les connaissez pas ! Ce travail est loin d'être un jeu ... mais il peut être très ludique ... Il vous laisse également toute liberté de choisir votre thème !

    Using THE 8 WORDS given below (the 2 verbs can be put in whatever tenses or forms you fancy but MUST remain verbs!), 2 adjectives or adverbs, 2 nouns and 2 link words, + a given structure and the suitable punctuation, search your minds, think hard and create AN ONLY meaningful SENTENCE. "Easy", isn't it? (In fact, it's more easily said than done! )

    - You CANNOT change the nature of the words!
    - You CANNOT use two or more compulsory words consecutively!

    PLEASE, WHEN YOU WRITE YOUR SENTENCE, PUT CAPITALS TO THE GIVEN WORDS! [and specify the number of words at the end.]

    Je vous rappelle qu'« une phrase », une seule, se termine par un point [final, d'exclamation ou d'interrogation], peut avoir de la ponctuation interne ",/; /:/ [...], et qu'elle doit avant tout avoir un sens. (Il ne doit y avoir qu'UN SEUL POINT dans votre phrase - à la fin.) Le but ultime est de faire une seule phrase complexe, mais courte ... Je le répète : elle doit avoir un sens et sa logique interne !
    Cet exercice est TRES difficile, c'est pourquoi il demande beaucoup de réflexion et d'attention, de rigueur aussi dans l'application des règles. Vous ne pouvez le poster QU'UNE FOIS (ne faire qu'un seul exemplaire).
    Pour que chacun ait la possibilité de travailler avec nous, cet exercice a des niveaux différents. Vous pouvez choisir celui qui vous convient :

    Le niveau fera une seule phrase en moins de 80 mots.
    Le niveau une seule phrase et toujours 60 mots, au plus.
    Le niveau **, pour les plus habiles, fera une phrase de moins de 40 mots ...
    I feel it's a tricky one, this time! I'm sure you'll overcome this!

    Here are the words:
    - To WHIRL – To RUSH – a WHINE - a ROUTINE – INSTANT (adj) – FIERCE – CONTRARY TO – ALTHOUGH + un mot (de nature indifférente) dérivé du mot CHILD.

    C'est parti pour une " très jolie phrase correcte et courte ! "
    Go for it with THE FORCE!

    Hello
    It's my first time on this website.
    Here is my answer.
    It was tricky. I did made a long sentence...

    - To WHIRL – To RUSH – a WHINE - a ROUTINE – INSTANT (adj) – FIERCE – CONTRARY TO – ALTHOUGH + un mot (de nature indifférente) dérivé du mot CHILD.

    CONTRARY TO this ROUTINE which seemed to be comforting since my CHILDHOOD, I don't want to have a WHINE but, I have prefered RUSHING in the whirlwind of life ALTHOUGH the world is FIERCE that had an INSTANT effect on my life that IS now WHIRLING. ...47 mots

    Hello everybody!
    Here my "nice correct sentence and short" Hum ...
    Main is to participate, isn't it?

    To WHIRL ? To RUSH ? a WHINE - a ROUTINE ? INSTANT (adj) ? FIERCE ? CONTRARY TO ? ALTHOUGH un mot (de nature indifférente) dérivé du mot CHILD.


    ALTHOUGH CHILDISH John's behaviour annoyed her, it had become a real ROUTINE, when she arrived, he used to RUSH to her, WHIRLING and uttering little WHINES, nevertheless she accepted her son's attitude CONTRARY TO her husband who, at the INSTANT time John was starting, used to stare him with a FIERCE look.

    Take care of you.

    Hello dears!

    Not much luck! There were few, very few volunteers, this time! Was it too difficult? Was it just then holiday and the warm weather striking again!

    Anyway, I want to thank those of you who Racked their Brains to make a meaningful, correct and logical sentence! a lot and CONGRATS!



    - ALTHOUGH the ship's captain considered the crossing like a ROUTINE, and CONTRARY TO his expectations, the CHILDREN were seized with INSTANT fear when hearing the WHINES of the FIERCE wind WHIRLING in sails, and were scared when the ship RUSHED towards the rocks. 43 words

    - CONTRARY TO this ROUTINE which seemed to be comforting since my CHILDHOOD, I don't want to have a WHINE but I have prefered RUSHING in the whirlwind of life ALTHOUGH the world is FIERCE; that had an INSTANT effect on my life that IS now WHIRLING... 47 mots


    The initial post : didn’t respect the rules …

    Initial post : In autumn, the leaves are WHIRLING ; People are RUSHing at the time of the sales.
    Ukrainians WHINE under Russian occupation of their country.
    Going to work is a daily routine.
    Instant coffee is not as good as real coffee.
    Inhumane companies fiercely exploit their employees.
    Contrary to the suspect's statements, the DNA found at the scene established his presence on the criminal spot.
    Although children love candy, it's not healthy to let them eat all the time . 78 words

    First step : gathering all the different sentences (without correcting them), just linking them…

    - In autumn, the leaves are WHIRLING; people are RUSHing at the time of the sales; Ukrainians WHINE under Russian occupation of their country: going to work is a daily ROUTINE; inhumane companies FIERCEly exploit their employees; instant coffee is not as good as real coffee(. CONTRARY TO the suspect's statements, the DNA found at the scene established his presence on the criminal spot.
    ALTHOUGH children love candy, it's not healthy to let them eat all the time .


    Final try…

    - At present, leaves are WHIRLING; people are RUSHing to the sales; Ukrainians WHINE under Russian occupation; work is a daily ROUTINE while FIERCE companies exploit their employees who drink INSTANT coffee; CONTRARY TO what CHILDREN think and ALTHOUGH they love candy, it's not healthy to let them eat too much . 50 words

    J’ai gardé la plupart des idées exprimées, me suis efforcée de respecter toutes les règles et de « créer » un semblant de logique dans cette phrase …
    Dorénavant, je ne corrigerai plus les productions qui enfreignent tant de règles … (et qui n'ont pas été corrigées malgré ma demande ...)

    Bravo pour vous qui avez bien joué le jeu ! et encore grand
