group "english practice"

[Milla]

Hello,

As agreed last wednesday evening, I put 5 sentences in french and you can try to translate them in english. I give you the translation on friday, is it ok ?

- Tous mes amis sont partis en vancances, et je me sens très seul.

- Je le connaissais très bien mais lorsqu'elle est rentrée je ne l'ai pas reconnue.

- Nous avons mangé du poisson tous les jours depuis dimanche.

- Si seulement elle arrêtait de jouer cette musique idiote.

- Nous parlons tous mal anglais, mais c'est toi qui parles le plus mal.

Talk to you soon !

i think apisdistra is a better than me .

i ask me some questions :

- must we say "we have been eating" or "we are eating since.."?

- must we say "badly"?

- how say "le plus mal"?

NB

[Milla]

Bigotna you're right, I made a mistake. It's of course :

Je la connaissais très bien mais losqu'elle est rentrée je ne l'ai pas reconnue

[ludi]

- must we say "we have been eating" or "we are eating since.."?

It's better to use present perfect progressive:

Is used when a long action has started in the past and has just ended or is still happening. We express how long the action happened. The verbs have to express an action which can be happen a long time.

how say "le plus mal"?

le plus mal= le pire you must use a superlative: The worst

see you

I'll add my translation today
