Opgave 1


Find alle verberne (udsagnsordene) i præteritum (datid) i nedenstående tekst, og omskriv dem til præsens (nutid). Skriv hele teksten som dit svar, og markér verberne (udsagnsordene) tydeligt som i eksemplet.

Eksempel: It began to rain…

It begins to rain…

It began to rain as I walked along Junction Road and passed the chip shop opposite the tube station. There were no customers inside, but one of the men behind the counter stared at me as he diced cabbage. For some reason this scene seemed so ridiculous that I burst out laughing.

Mr 7-Eleven didn’t look up from his magazine as I entered, but I got the feeling that he saw me anyway. Simon had a job working behind the till of an all-night garage. […] While working night-shifts, he discovered an uncanny ability to predict the make and the colour of the next car to pull up onto the petrol station forecourt. It was pure rubbish, of course, but, I supposed, it was possible to find out all manner of strange things about yourself if you spent all that time on your own while the rest of the world was sleeping.
