Hello everybody !

Eh bien, tout d'abord je voudrais vous dire que je suis très très contente de vous, de votre travail et.... de vos commentaires , ce qui n'exclut pas cependant de vous proposer la correction !


1) We stayed in a small hotel near Lake Geneva.
. We don’t use “the” with the names of lakes.
"at" is the more common use when you "stay at a hotel", but you sometimes may read "in" in some English spoken countries ...

2) Sheila got married to a French man
Or Sheila married a French man.

3) I’ll be there in one and a half hours
Or I’ll be there in one and a half hour.

4) My boss is very well paid.
. A person is very well/badly paid.

5) His work shows great intelligence.
. In English, we say that a person has : very low/below average/average/
high/great/exceptional intelligence.

6) Can you take me to the Holiday Inn ?
Or Can you drop me off at the Holiday Inn ?

7) I went on a two week vacation to Marrakech.
. In English, when the quantity/weight/cost, etc. comes directly before the
noun it refers to, we normally make the quantity singular.

8) Can you wash this saucepan again ?

9) The car crashed into the back of a bus.
. But we can also say : “Brian crashed his car” when we are talking about a car accident, in the past.

10) I’ll buy the drinks.
. In a pub or a bar, we normally talk about buying or getting the drinks (rather than paying for them.)

To be continued.....

Many thanks for taking part !
