  • Repartir de Zéro et sur de bonnes bases en Anglais

    25 November 2009 ( #Methodology )

  • "To" comme opérateur de visée

    17 December 2009 ( #Grammar )

    La particule "to" est très souvent un opérateur de visée, c'est-à-dire qu'elle a une fonction indiquant l'intention du sujet auquel elle est rattachée. Ainsi quand vous dîtes : "je veux manger du homard à Noël", vous exprimez une intention. Le verbe "vouloir"...

  • Le comparatif en anglais

    05 November 2009 ( #Grammar )

  • L'ordre des mots

    22 October 2009 ( #Grammar )

    22 April 2010 ( #Grammar )

    Il faut faire attention en anglais car la forme "-ing" isolée, aposée à un verbe, n'est pas une forme verbale mais bien nominale. Un verbe sur lequel on rajoute ce suffixe devient un substantif et se comporte comme tel. Notre traduction en français peut...
