Hello dear Friends!

Voici votre nouveau challenge ! 'Playing and working with words'... La date limite pour cet exercice est fin juillet 2024.Toujours beaucoup de sollicitations, tentations et obligations qui vous détournent de l'anglais, mais bon ! Tout le monde peut réfléchir et faire marcher ses neurones sur une plage de sable fin, en grimpant sur un sentier de randonnée ou en pleine campagne bien au frais !
Espérons que vous vaincrez les changements de temps, les élections, le football, les JO, les Fêtes Nationales et Familiales et les embouteillages monstrueux à Paris et ses environs, et parviendrez quand même à vous trouver du temps pour travailler avec nous
un petit moment !
J'espère que vous profiterez à la fois de vos amis, de votre famille, mais aussi que vous n'oublierez pas de vous creuser les méninges avec nous...
![](http://www.anglaisfacile.com/images/smileys/fou.gif)
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...
![](http://www.anglaisfacile.com/images/smileys/fou.gif)
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?

- You CANNOT change the nature of the words!
-
![](http://www.anglaisfacile.com/images/smileys/attention.gif)
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 :

Hello here4u
I have just noticed that I wrongly read "relentless" instead of "restless".

My sentence as modified:
“Oh CRUEL disappointment, why HADN'T that happened another day?”, Tom complained with RESTLESS gestures, realizing RIGHT AWAY, after a STARE at his sore HEEL, that he EVENTUALLY won't be able to SWING and PICK cherries with his teeth.

Bonsoir Here4U - voici mon travail fait dans les dernières heures et la précipitation. Le soleil arrive sur la Normandie!
This is a CRUEL reality: We're dealing at a RESTLESS boy: we're always PICKING on him and treading on his HEELS, if not we find him SWINGING from the branches of a tree, EVENTUALLY why not to give him a STARE and order him to come down RIGHT AWAY? (51 words)

Comme d'habitude, j'ai essayé de corriger 'a minima' pour ne pas trahir vos créations...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mes tentatives de corrections :
- "Please, CAN'T YOU STAY motionless/ still for a while- I am RIGHT AWAY going to PICK this nail/ splinter from your HEEL", the doctor said, whereas/ while the RESTLESS man, with a STAR, keept SWINGING and uttering CRUEL supplications, until he was EVENTUALLY relieved ....36 words.
Motionless/ still : Motionless is a synonym of still.
As adjectives the difference between still and motionless is that still is not moving; calm while motionless is at rest, stationary, immobile, not moving.
As an adverb still is up to a time, as in the preceding time.
As a noun still is a period of calm or silence.
As a verb still is to calm down, to quiet.
- J’ai enlevé le ? sinon, ta phrase est terminée…
- nail me semble un peu gros pour enlever d’un pied. Une écharde ne demanderait sans doute pas l’intervention d’un médecin, but still…
- ici, je préfère while (pendant que= simultanéité) à whereas (alors que – souvent 2 personnes différentes.°
- he was relieved : je ne mettrais pas l’irréel.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Avec le mot non donné…
- “Oh CRUEL disappointment, RELENTLESS destiny, why HADN'T that happened another day?”, Tom complained, realizing RIGHT AWAY, with a STARE at his sore HEEL, that he EVENTUALLY won't be able to SWING and PICK cherries with his teeth. 37 words. TTB
SWING and PICK cherries with his teeth ?? I’m not sure I can visualise that…
With the right word:
“Oh CRUEL disappointment, why HADN'T that happened another day?”, Tom complained with RESTLESS gestures, realizing RIGHT AWAY, after a STARE at his sore HEEL, that he EVENTUALLY won't be able to SWING and PICK cherries with his teeth. 38 words TTB
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Have you ever seen someone SWINGing in/( on ?) a HEEL’ and now he (the one I said that to) Paul PICKS to EVENTUALLY STARE at me with a CRUEL and RESTLESS STARE or... firstly RIGHT AWAY. 34 mots
- Pas certaine de comprendre cette phrase…
* swinging ON a heel ? yes, why not? mais IN, NON !
* he : je l’appelle Paul.
Picks : pas de E
C’est à partir d’ici que je ne comprends plus…
EVENTUALLY STARE: 2 mots consécutifs
![](http://www.anglaisfacile.com/images/smileys/attention.gif)
![](http://www.anglaisfacile.com/images/smileys/attention.gif)
2 fois le mot « imposé » STARE: il est possible d’en retirer un … mais lequel ? C’est là qu’est ma limite car je ne veux pas trahir la pensée de l’auteur…
'Have you ever seen Paul SWINGing on a HEEL’; EVENTUALLY he PICKS the ball with a CRUEL and RESTLESS STARE at me and throws it RIGHT AWAY.
En « bidouillant », je suis arrivée à cette phrase – qui n’a plus grand-chose à voir avec la phrase originale. J’ai rajouté EVENTUALLY (finalement) qui manquait.
Paul is SWINGing on a HEEL; he PICKS the ball like a RESTLESS and CRUEL child, STARing at me, EVENTUALLY throwing it RIGHT AWAY. 23 words !
