Hi there !

Eh bien, je n'aurai qu'un mot : B R A V O ! à notre Nobody, qui a rendu un sans faute sur cet exercice !
En effet, sa proposition de la phrase numéro 5, un peu différente de la mienne, est tout aussi correcte, puisqu'il s'agit de garder un sens identique !

Voici donc, pour tous, la correction :
1 – I’ve never had to work all through the night before.
This is the first time I’ve had to work all through the night.

2 – Most of us became salesmen when we left university.
Most of us have been salesmen since we left university.

3 – Our current manager started working here ten years ago.
Our current manager has been working here for ten years.

4 – I haven’t heard from Sarah for a couple of months.
The last time I heard from Sarah was a couple of months ago.

5 – I used to find computers difficult before I started taking these lessons.
Since I started taking these lessons, I haven’t found computers so difficult.

Ne vous découragez pas, mes amis, la prochaine série sera un peu plus facile ! Enfin..... j'espère !!!!
