Hi there and.... many thanks, my dear Medi !

Well, let's go down to work !

1- He said he would write to me as soon as he has arrived.
2- If I was free I would only do what I like. (If I "were" ????)
3- I wish I could help everybody who needed or needs it. (difficult to say out of context)
4- She said she would marry me when I have finished studies. (my ?)
5- I'd like to work when I want (or wanted) and stop when I want (or wanted)
to.
Same as number 3 - Both of tenses !
6- She promised to let me know as soon as she has found a place to live.

I'm looking forward to seeing the corrections !!!!!

bonsoir OrientCat et tout le monde

Je réponds à ton interrogation concernant la phrase n° 2 "If I were"
après If on emploie parfois were au lieu de was , surtout en anglais écrit et dans la tournure if I were you( = "à votre place").
Voilà ce que j'ai pu dénicher pour ton information
Good evening
Medi

If I were .... If I was

Je pense que la première formulation est plus formelle, plus correcte en fait.

Nous entendrons la seconde dans le language plus commun

Parlons peu, mais parlons bien

Voici venu l'heure de la correction

1- He said he would write to me as soon as he had arrived
2- If I was free I would only do what I liked.
3- I wish I could help everybody who needed it.
4- She siad she would marry me when I had finished studies.
5- I'd like to work when I wanted and stop when I wanted.
6- She promised to let me know as soon as she had found a place to live.

Petites explications car je vois que vous avez eu du mal pour cet exercice
On emploie le présent pour parler du futur.
on emploie le [b]present perfect au lieu du futur antérieur.
on emploie le prétérit au lieu du conditionnel présent.
on emploie le pluperfect au lieu du conditionnel passé.
cet exercice était basé sur le prétérit et le pluperfect.

Allez courage encore et encore des exercices pour en arriver à bout...

A bientôt
Medi
