Comment progresser après ce corrigé
Si tu as confondu themselves et each other, refais l’exercice 4 en traduisant chaque phrase par « l’un l’autre » ou « soi-même ». Si les partitifs t’ont posé problème, écris une petite enquête sur ta famille (qui aime le sport, qui a un vélo…) et rédige cinq phrases avec all of, most of, some of, a few of et none of. Enfin, relis la liste des verbes non réfléchis en anglais : get up, feel, remember, wonder, relax, meet.
