Hello

Voici un thème pour réveiller un peu les neurones encore en vacances
C'est facile mais attention...vous me connaissez,non?
Bienvenue aux nouveaux et aux débutants, lancez-vous!
Niveau
Correction vers le 3 septembre sur le forum (et par mp si vous travaillez bien)

Comme vous savez,Kevin et Tom se connaissent depuis quelques mois. Ils ont 5 ans tous les deux. Kevin a eu 5 ans mercredi dernier et il a eu beaucoup de cadeaux. Il a dit à Tom qu'il était très content. Tom lui a aussi demandé où habitaient ses grands-parents. Ils étaient ravis de se revoir à nouveau et ont beaucoup parlé, comme d'habitude.
Ils espèrent qu'ils seront encore une fois dans la même classe. Ils savent qu'ils auront une nouvelle maîtresse mais cela ne les inquiète pas. Ils connaîtront son nom quand ils seront de retour à l'école.

Hello,

Oh la méchante fille qui crée un nouveau texte avec beaucoup de pièges sur les temps.
Voici ma traduction :

As you know, Kevin and Tom have known each other for a few months. They are both 5. Kevin turned 5 last Wednesday and he got a lot of gifts. He told Tom he was very happy. Tom also asked him where his grandparents were living. They were delighted to meet again and talked a lot, as usual.
They hope they will be in the same class again. They know they will have a new teacher but that is not worrying. They will know her name when they are back at school.

Merci d'avance !
Bonne journée !

Hello,

As you know, Kevin and Tom have known each other for a few months. They both are five. Kevin turned 5 last wednesday and he got a lot of presents. He had told Tom he was very happy. Tom also asked him where his grandparents lived. They were happy to see each other again, and they talked a lot as usual. They hope they will be in the same class once again. They knew they will have a new mistress but they are not worried about it. They will learn about her name on their return to school.
I hope it is not so bad.

Hello lucile,

thank you very much for the correction.
I am a bit confused about the use of the past continuous instead of the simple past in the following sentence (indirect speech):"Tom also asked him where his grandparents were living". Direct speech: Tom also asked him: 'where do your grandparents live?' (permanent situation) or 'where are your grandparents living?' (at the moment). I would tend to think that the simple present works better than the present continuous (without context).

Regards.

Réponse: Kevin et Tom/Thème de lucile83, postée le 03-09-2012 à 08:05:32 (S | E)
Hello irish,

As you say 'were living' is used for an action that takes place now, and goes on.
That's why I chose the v-ing form, instead of the simple form.
I used the past because the main clause is in the past (asked).

It wouldn't be wrong if you said:
... asked ...lived

If you say:
... asked ...live
it sounds awkard because the fact of living there is not a permanent action, as the sun rises every morning
Hope this helps.

Hello lucile,

"if you say:
...asked...live"
I am sorry, I didn't express myself very clearly. What I meant to say:
-direct speech in the past with the simple present: 'Tom asked him: where do your grandparents live?' becomes 'Tom asked him where his grandparents lived' with the indirect speech.
-direct speech in the past with the present continuous: 'Tom asked him: where are your grandparents living?' becomes 'Tom asked him where his grandparents were living' with the indirect speech (one step back into the past from the original).
So, as you said, "...asked...lived,
...asked...were living",
these two past tenses work properly in this case. I quite agree with you
Regards.
