Ex 11 : Find the right questions

[miss.rando]

Bonjour,

Je vous propose aujourd’hui un exercice de grammaire pour réviser la forme interrogative. Dans chaque phrase, vous devez poser la question portant sur les éléments soulignés. Pensez à respecter les temps employés.
Les membres qui le souhaitent peuvent très bien faire l’exercice en partie seulement.

1- John met Tom last week.
2- John met Tom last week.
3- This is Jane’s book.
4- There were twenty people.
5- Twenty people came.
6- Mum goes to the swimming-pool twice a week.
7- I’ll take the green jumper; I don’t like the blue one.
8- This car costs 14,000 euros.

A bientôt.

Bonjour,

Merci de votre participation et félicitations : vous avez très bien travaillé.

Phrase 1 :

1 - When did Jane meet Tom ?

J’ avais pensé que John rencontrait Tom …. Conformément à de nombreux manuels scolaires traditionnels, deux petits copains se rencontraient ….. mais notre MystO’Griff a préféré une rencontre entre Jane et Tom : il s’agit donc d’ une « petite erreur » mais d’ une erreur très sympathique !

1- When did John met Tom ?

Ne pas oublier dans la question d’ employer la base verbale « meet » et non la forme passée « met » après "did"

Phrase 2 :

2 - Who did Tom meet last week ?
Who did John meet last week ? ( erreur commise deux fois)

La question porte sur le sujet qui est une personne ; j’ emploie donc le mot interrogatif « who » et je ne change rien au reste de la phrase.
Lorsque la question porte sur le sujet, on n’ emploie pas d’ auxiliaire.


Phrase 5 :

5. How many people did come? ( erreur commise plusieurs fois)

« How many people » est sujet de « came » ; dans ce cas-là, on n’ emploie pas d’ auxiliaire.


Phrase 8 :

8. How much is this car?

Cette question est correcte mais elle ne correspond pas directement à la phrase proposée d’ un point de vue strictement grammatical.


Voici le corrigé.

1- When did John meet Tom ?
2- Who met Tom last week ?
3- Whose book is it ?
4- How many people were there ?
5- How many people came ?
6- How often does Mum go to the swimming-pool ?
7- Which jumper will you take ?
8- How much does this car cost ?

Hi there !

Merci beaucoup Miss Rando pour ces corrections toujours aussi intéressantes et détaillées.

MystO'Griff et O'RientCat n'ont pas copié, I swear it , pour l'énorme bêtise qu'elles ont commise à la phrase numéro 2 !!! L'aînée se permet donc d'excuser la plus jeune tout en attendant notre punition

Pour la petite histoire, eh oui, MystO'Griff a pensé que Jane avait rencontré Tom, lui prêtant son livre, car John, bien trop timide, avait ensuite rencontré Tom qui lui avait remis le livre, tout cela devant 20 personnes.... bon, j'essaye de m'en sortir comme je peux

Merci encore et bon weekend à toutes et à tous,

MystO'Griff
