Bonjour,
je vous remercie, voici les seuls points que j'ai modifiés en fonction de vos trois réponses respectives:
Exercise 1:
5 Did it cost much to repair the car? ...................
My answer: RIGHT.

My answer: It's an interesting town to visit. There are plenty of things to see.

Bonnes fêtes à tous!

Hello again6 I'm sure we'll find somewhere to stay. ................
My answer: I'm sure we'll find plenty of hotels
You can't say "plenty of hotels to stay". You either have to say "plenty of hotels" or "plenty of hotels to stay in" or "plenty of hotels in which to stay".
Réponse: Vérification/ exercices de bernard02, postée le 28-12-2012 à 05:56:49 (S | E)
OK, but according to the exercise, we have to keep the phrase " I'm sure we'll find somewhere to stay" and we have just to complete the sentence, thus???
Regards.
Réponse: Vérification/ exercices de notrepere, postée le 28-12-2012 à 06:50:28 (S | E)
Hello, yes, I know, that's a bit of a problem. Stay is not an action verb, so you can't "stay a hotel". You can "wash" it, or "damage" it. But you can only "stay in/at" it.However, I think "somewhere to stay" can be treated as a single thought and it can be replaced by "plenty of hotels". I have been known to be wrong, though.

Hello,
6 I'm sure we'll find somewhere to stay. ................
I can see a full stop after the word stay.That means you can complete with another sentence such as
There are plenty of hotels.
What do you think?
