One, some or..... zero !

Hi there !

Eh oui, voilà souvent le genre de questions que l’on se pose…. sans réponse quelquefois, et pourtant, il existe bien des règles !
Voici donc quelques phrases dans lesquelles il y a une faute. Saurez-vous la reconnaître et la corriger ?

CORRECTION MERCREDI 4 OCTOBRE

1 – ‘We’ve run out of tomatoes.’ – ‘I’ll get ones when I go to the shops'.
2 – I couldn’t fit all the boxes in the car, so I had to leave ones behind and pick it up later.
3 – Most of the trees in our garden are less than 10 years old but ones are much older than that.

5 – The vases are all handmade and every looks different.
6 – There are excellent food markets in town but the main is near the port.

Hi there !

Merci beaucoup pour votre participation et la réflexion dont il était besoin.

Comment cela, je lis.... difficile, je suis nul ! Mais enfin, voulez-vous cesser de vous dévaloriser !

Voici le moment de la correction, et vous allez voir comme vous avez bien travaillé :

1 – ‘We’ve run out of tomatoes.’ – ‘I’ll get SOME when I go to the shops.
Ici some est impératif, car nous ne pouvons utiliser ONES sans définir précisément le groupe duquel nous parlons.

2 – I couldn’t fit all the boxes in the car, so I had to leave ONE behind and pick it up later.
Il s’agissait ici de garder ONE au singulier, nous avions l’indication avec le pronom personnel “it” un peu plus loin.

3 – Most of the trees in our garden are less than 10 years old but SOME are much older than that.
Cf. phrase numéro 1, c’est le même raisonnement ! Je voulais voir si vous appliquiez !

4 – The children had eaten all the pizza and were still hungry so I had to make them ANOTHER (one) .
Eh oui, ici, c’était ONE qui était possible et facultatif, puisque placé après another.

5 – The vases are all handmade and every ONE looks different.
Il nous fallait ajouter ONE après every, comme d’ailleurs, pour mémoire, après the, the only, the main, any (dans le sens de n’importe quel(s), quelle(s).

6 – There are excellent food markets in town but the main ONE is near the port.
Si vous avez bien lu la correction de la phrase numéro 5……….

7 – If you need any more paper, I’ll bring you SOME .
Vous remarquerez que dans cette phrase, “Paper” est utilisé comme indénombrable, donc le pronom “one” est impossible pour le remplacer.


Je vous dis à bientôt..... pour un autre sujet
