Hello dear Friends!

Voici votre nouveau challenge ! "Playing and working with words"... La date limite pour cet exercice est fin février 2024. Je suis, cette fois encore, un peu en retard pour poster ce sujet. Désolée, vraiment ! mais je sais que vous êtes toujours très inventifs...
Je vous rappelle que cet exercice a des règles qui doivent être respectées. Lisez-les bien si vous ne les connaissez pas ! Ce travail est loin d'être un jeu... mais il peut être très ludique... Il vous laisse également toute liberté de choisir votre thème !

Using THE 8 WORDS given below (the 2 verbs can be put in whatever tenses or forms you fancy but MUST remain verbs!), 2 adjectives or adverbs, 2 nouns and 2 link words, + a given structure and the suitable punctuation, search your minds, think hard and create AN ONLY meaningful SENTENCE. "Easy", isn't it? (In fact, it's more easily said than done and advanced learners or natives can step in!! )

- You CANNOT change the nature of the words!
- You CANNOT use two or more compulsory words consecutively!

PLEASE, WHEN YOU WRITE YOUR SENTENCE, PUT CAPITALS TO THE GIVEN WORDS! [and specify the number of words at the end.]

Je vous rappelle qu'« une phrase », une seule, se termine par un point [final, d'exclamation ou d'interrogation], peut avoir de la ponctuation interne ",/; /:/ [...], et qu'elle doit avant tout avoir un sens. (Il ne doit y avoir qu'UN SEUL POINT dans votre phrase - à la fin.) Le but ultime est de faire une seule phrase complexe, mais courte... Je le répète : elle doit avoir un sens et sa logique interne !
Cet exercice est TRES difficile, c'est pourquoi il demande beaucoup de réflexion et d'attention, de rigueur aussi dans l'application des règles. Vous ne devez le poster QU'UNE FOIS (ne faire qu'un seul exemplaire).

Pour que chacun ait la possibilité de travailler avec nous, cet exercice a des niveaux différents. Vous pouvez choisir celui qui vous convient :
Le niveau fera une seule phrase en moins de 80 mots.
Le niveau une seule phrase et toujours 60 mots, au plus.
Le niveau **, pour les plus habiles, fera une phrase de moins de 40 mots...
I'm sure you'll have inspiration...

Here are the words:

- To WATCH - To NOTICE - RELUCTANCE - a SURPRISE - STRONG - STRAIGHT - IN ORDER TO (one word) - UNLIKE - et une conjonction de subordination temporelle !

C'est parti pour une " très jolie phrase correcte et courte ! "
May THE FORCE be with all of us! ☀️ ☀️

Hello dears,

La fin de ce mois court approche : voici vos productions avec les indications d'erreurs et les suggestions. Comme d'habitude, j'ai essayé de changer le moins possible d'éléments de vos productions initiales pour ne pas trop risquer de vous trahir.


- I NOTICED your clear RELUCTANCE to come home STRAIGHT after work, which was quite UNLIKE your habits, and IN ORDER TO wait TILL you get home, I made (prepared/ planned ?) (you) a SURPRISE (for you), preparing/ cooking) a STRONG, good meal while WATCHING TV. 37 words
Très bien ! Bravo !

- The museum curator says/ said with a STRONG accent: " UNLIKE other times, IN ORDER TO admire those wonders, go STRAIGHT without RELUCTANCE; WHEN you WATCH that famous painting you will NOTICE its smallest details and a SURPRISE will await you". 38 words.
J’ai juste modifié la ponctuation légèrement. Bravo. C’est très bien !


- WHILE I was WATCHING my dog, I NOTICED he was going STRAIGHT, with(out)[serait plus logique !] RELUCTANCE, and UNLIKE what he used to do IN ORDER to cope with a strong SURPRISE. (28 words)
Très bien. Un coup d’essai, un coup de maître !


- I NOTICED a man WATCHING me insistently; UNLIKE me/ mine, his portliness was STRONGER, ( ;) to my SURPRISE I recognized him; he walked STRAIGHT towards me IN ORDER TO kiss me, I did it with RELUCTANCE thinking about covid. 37 words)
(He was STRONG, and UNLIKE what I imagined, to my SURPRISE…)
Très bien (mais je n’ai pas trop aimé : «his portliness was STRONGER» qui n’est pas naturel, ne se dirait pas… /his build/ stature?)


- AFTER I WATCHED/ WATCHING him closely, IN ORDER TO make a STRAIGHT opinion , i/ I NOTICEd with SURPRISE (that he may do the business)/ he may fit the bill), UNLIKE/ in spite of conviendrait mieux…) the STRONG (anD numerous ?)/ understandable ?/ plain ?/ RELUCTANCE I had. (30 words)
Pas toujours clair ! Unlike ne convient pas vraiment ici. Un bon essai cependant.
