Hello Tara Duncan!
Je croyais que tu parlais déjà l’anglais! Apprenez des verbes irréguliers dans les phrases utiles: ce ne sert à rien de répéter bêtement “be, was, were, been, become, became, become” etc. Mémorisez plutôt: hier, j’étais malade: I was sick yesterday, le film était fantastique: the film was fantastic, on a été à l’heure pour la réunion: we were on time for the meeting, je n’ai jamais été en Angleterre: I’ve never been to England
Cherchez l’internet pour des exemples, où demandez votre prof de vous en donner des phrases: comme ça, vous apprenez des verbes irréguliers ainsi que quelque chose utile à dire!
Hi teacher!
Comment peut t-on faire pour retenir les verbes irreguliers ?
hi teacher
please, I just want know about the different context which we can have by using the verb “to bend”
HiPassy,
Sorry, it was just an editing mistake, of course it should be ‘I am bending’ NOT ‘I are bending’.
Note too, that there are probably not too many situations where you would use this verb in the present progressive – use these pages as a reference.
Hi teacher,
Please I don’t know if is it just to say “I am bending or I are bending” because in the text at the first person of the progressive present of to bend you write “I are bending”
Thanks
Passy
