Assignment 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: We stayed at the only albergo…

We stay at the only albergo…



We stayed at the only albergo in the village and ate our meals in a dark bar beneath the mounted heads of stag and mountain goats. The mother of the proprietor was brought to see my father, whom she claimed to remember as a small child. She sniffled, of course, recollecting the three sisters who were the last of a family having been part of the village so long that − that what? My father was translating for me, but hesitantly, not much was left of his Italian. […] The church square where he vividly remembered playing was still there and the nuns still ran an infant school […].
    The energy of roaring motorcycles carrying young workers […] ripped his voice away as he told me of the games drawn with a stick in the dust and the cold bliss of kicking snow about […].
    At night he drank grappa in the bar with the proprietor and picked up what he could of the arguments of village cronies and young bloods over the merits of football teams, while the TV babbled on as an ignored attraction. These grandchildren of the patriarchs blew in on a splendid gust created by the sudden arrest of speed as they cut the engines of their motorcycles. […].
    No women came up to the bar. Up in my room each night, I leant out of my window before bed; I didn’t know how long I stayed like that.
Nadine Gordimer, “L, U, C, I, E.”, 2004
