Exemple de réponse modèle :

On Saturday night, the school canteen was broken into. 200 chocolate bars and a coffee machine were taken. A noise was heard by a neighbour, who called the police. Two teenagers were arrested on Sunday morning. However, the chocolate bars have not been found yet! A new alarm will be installed next week.
Le titre suit le style de la presse : participe passé seul, sans be ni article.
Comment progresser après ce corrigé
Si tu as oublié be ou mis le mauvais temps, refais l’exercice 5 en écrivant d’abord, au-dessus du verbe actif, le nom de son temps. Pour gagner en aisance, lis chaque jour un titre de journal anglophone en ligne et reformule-le en phrase complète : c’est l’entraînement idéal pour repérer le passif et comprendre la presse.
