Exemple de réponse modèle :
My name is Inès and I live in Nantes. I go to the swimming pool every Wednesday. This year I am preparing for the brevet, so I work hard. I have lived here since 2017, but I was born in Morocco. When I was ten, I went to London with my class and I loved it. I have never been to the United States. Next summer, I am going to take an intensive English course in Dublin. Later, I think I will become a vet, because I love animals.
Vérifie que chaque temps est justifié par un marqueur : every Wednesday, this year, since, when I was ten, never, next summer, I think.
Comment progresser après ce corrigé
Si tu as hésité surtout entre prétérit et present perfect, entraîne-toi à souligner les marqueurs avant de conjuguer : une date ou When…? mène au prétérit, for, since, ever, never, yet, just mènent au present perfect. Si c’est le futur qui t’a piégé, demande-toi si la décision existait avant le moment où l’on parle. Relis enfin tes propres productions en cherchant les trois fautes classiques : le -s oublié, « depuis » traduit par un présent et will après when.
