Comment progresser après ce corrigé
Si vous avez oublié to après get ou en avez ajouté un après make, recopiez la règle « Let, have, make : no to ! Get : to ! ». Entraînez-vous ensuite à décrire votre semaine : ce que vous avez fait faire, ce qu’on vous a obligé à faire, ce qu’on vous a laissé faire. Ces structures enrichissent beaucoup un récit ou un témoignage à l’oral.
