Hello dear Friends!

Voici votre nouveau casse-tête favori ! 'Playing and working with words'... La date limite pour cet exercice est fin decembre 2024. Je sais que certains doivent piaffer d'impatience... You can go for it!
Toujours beaucoup de sollicitations, tentations et obligations qui nous détournent de l'anglais, mais bon ! Tout le monde peut réfléchir et faire marcher ses neurones maintenant la Rentrée revenue !

Espérons que vous vaincrez toutes les réunions de travail et les embouteillages monstrueux à Paris et ses environs, et parviendrez quand même à vous trouver du temps pour travailler avec nous un petit moment !
N'oubliez pas de vous creuser les méninges avec nous...

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 and advanced learners or natives can step in!! )

- 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 devez le poster QU'UNE FOIS (ne faire qu'un seul exemplaire, mais vous pouvez éditer votre production en me l'indiquant !)

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'm sure you'll have inspiration...

Here are the words :

- To DRAW - To YAWN - a MATTER - a HOLE - HUMOROUS - INDIGNANT - IN ORDER TO (1 word) - BOTH - et un PRONOM POSSESSIF PLURIEL
Lien internet



C'est parti pour une " très jolie phrase correcte et courte ! " Courage !
May THE FORCE be with all of us! ☀️ ☀️

Hello!

Here is my work:

Hello dear suffering creators...

Looks as if the 'picked' words were very difficult to combine... Moreover, the constructions of some of the words were difficult. I'm sorry I hadn't imagined it could be so difficult...


A) LAZY PUPILS/ (UNRULY PUPILS)

- Having a total respect for books, the teacher got INDIGNANT when noticing that, instead of studying his MATTER, (his BOTH pupils,) who were YAWNING, had had the HUMOROUS idea to DRAW/ (the humorous idea of drawing’ is equally good.) lines IN ORDER TO cut out HOLES in THEIRS('Theirs'? 'their' what? ‘Whose?’ not sure I understand…). 38 words

- instead of studying his MATTER: I wouldn’t use ‘matter’, here. It’s not correct. I’d prefer ‘subject’/ or ‘discipline’ or possibly (at worst) ‘subject-matter-

- His both pupils: n’est pas correct
Lien internet


J’aimerais bien une reprise de cette phrase si c’est possible. Ceci n’est pas urgent.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B) (Mischievous children)

IN ORDER TO make the class laugh, BOTH children of OURS, gifted drawers/ designers in MATTER of HUMOROUS drawings/ cartoons, DRAW pictures showing the INDIGNANT teacher YAWNING and falling in a HOLE . 30 words TB. Pas de fautes (but I can’t imagine what hole you’re talking about.)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C) Playful score-settling

IN ORDER TO settle the MATTER in a HUMOROUS way, the cowboy adopted an INDIGNANT look, and, YAWNING, theatrically DREW his gun, making HOLES in the horsethief's hat, and then, BOTH comically began/started quarelling over which horses were THEIRS. 37 words TTB


I hope the following puzzle will be less difficult to you...
If you have any suggestions concerning sentence A, do not hesitate to help! and for your efforts.

Hello here4u!

Another attempt:

A) LAZY PUPILS/ (UNRULY PUPILS)

He wondered what the MATTER was with BOTH his YAWNING pupils and, having a total respect for books, he got INDIGNANT when noticing that they had had the HUMOROUS idea of DRAWING lines IN ORDER TO cut out HOLES in THEIRS. 39 words

In theirs = in their books
